Secunderabad: Continuing with their unflinching endeavor in providing relief to the isolated and grief-stricken populace in the flood-affected regions of Telangana, the helicopters of the Indian Air Force dropped around 600 kgs of food packets on Friday. The food packets included relief material contributed by the members of the Air Force Family Welfare Association, popularly known as ‘Sanginis’.
The IAF personnel, apart from being the guardian of Indian aerospace, have always been at the forefront in providing Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) whenever nature wreaks havoc. In the instant case, the helicopters from Air Force Station Hakimpet in Hyderabad, which provide cutting-edge helicopter flying training to the IAF pilots, are specially tasked to undertake such an important commitment.
They were instrumental in evacuating six people stranded atop a JCB in flood-stricken Nainpaka village in the Jayashankar Bhupalpally district of Telangana on 27 July. The rescue operations will continue in the state, till the normalcy returns.
