Cyclone Biparjoy: Rescuers waded through knee-deep water carrying infants wrapped in clothes and even an empty cement bag to shield them from rain.
A National Disaster Response Force team evacuated 127 people from a school in Gujarat district today after water levels began rising there because of heavy rain due to Cyclone Biparjoy.
Videos from the site show NDRF personnel wading through knee-deep water carrying infants wrapped in clothes and even an empty cement bag to shield them from the rain.
People from areas close to the coast had been given shelter in Rupan Bandar School in Devbhumi Dwarka district, but when the area around it began getting waterlogged, a decision was taken to shift them to another school nearby.
In a video, an NDRF personnel can be seen carrying an infant out of the school wrapped in an empty cement bag to protect it from the pouring rain. The rescuer carries the infant through knee-deep water and hands it over to a family member waiting in an area where the water level is lower.
