Maharashtra: IAF helicopter rescues 3 people stranded in flooded Latur village

An Indian Air Force (IAF) helicopter rescued three people stranded in an inundated village in Latur, Maharashtra, on Wednesday.

A day after heavy water discharge from the Manjara dam caused flooding in some places of Maharashtra's Marathwada region, an IAF team on Wednesday rescued three people stranded at an inundated village in Latur with the help of a helicopter, a district administration official said.

Following heavy rains in Marathwada over the last few days, the NDRF was mobilised and helicopters were deployed to rescue people stuck in some of the flooded places in the region.
