Military Helicopter Airdrops Relief Material for India Flood Victims

Описание: Authorities in India's eastern Bihar state have called in military helicopters to drop relief material for flood-affected people on Monday, September 30.
About 3,000 to 4,000 people were rescued and 19 teams of National Disaster Response Force are working round-the-clock, officials said. People were also seen getting relief material from suspended buckets.
This is the time of year when monsoons in India are usually retreating. But torrential rains in the last three days have killed over a hundred people, inundated a major city, disrupted rail and road traffic, and caused widespread havoc in two of the country’s poorest states — Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
The latest deluge in northern India brought fresh warnings from climate experts that extreme weather events have become more common and pose a major challenge to the country’s crowded and often unplanned cities.
