The Army has been called in to assist the civil administration in its flood relief operations in Hooghly and Howrah districts of West Bengal, a defence official said here on Tuesday.
Five columns of the Indian Army from Kolkata military station, each comprising around 50 personnel, have been engaged in relief operations in Udaynarayanpur block of Howrah and Arambagh, Pursura and Khanakul areas of Hooghly district, he said.
