Indian Army’s Sapta Shakti Command launches flood relief ops in Rajasthan amid heavy rains

In the wake of incessant rains and rising floodwaters in parts of Kota and Bundi districts of Rajasthan, the Indian Army’s Sapta Shakti Command has undertaken extensive flood relief operations with swift response and unwavering commitment to the people.

The Rajasthan Education Department has announced that schools will remain closed for three days in Tonk from Monday to Wednesday. In Alwar, Jaipur, Dausa, Nagaur, and Didwana-Kuchaman, schools will remain closed on Monday and Tuesday. Schools in Sikar, Karauli, Kota, Khairthal-Tijara, Dungarpur, Chittorgarh, Ajmer, Kotputli-Baharod, Sirohi, Bundi, Bhilwara, Udaipur, and Sawai Madhopur are closed on Monday.

Displaying operational readiness and a humanitarian spirit, flood relief columns promptly reached the affected areas and initiated rescue, evacuation, and relief measures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of citizens trapped in low-lying villages. In one of the major operations conducted in Nimoda Hariji village, Digod tehsil of Kota, troops successfully evacuated and safely relocated more than 200 villagers, including women, children, and the elderly, to safer locations.

Alongside, relief teams provided essential supplies — food, drinking water, and medicines — to meet the immediate requirements of the affected families. Despite adverse weather conditions and persistent heavy rainfall, Army teams have continued their relentless efforts, working round-the-clock to bring hope, safety, and strength to flood-hit communities. Their timely intervention has not only ensured physical rescue but also restored confidence among the villagers battling the fury of floods.

Further extending the scope of operations, dedicated flood relief columns have been deployed in the Nainwa, Keshoraipatan, and Badi Dhandla areas of Bundi district, where several villages remain inundated. The Army’s presence has reassured local citizens and supported the civil administration in providing immediate relief and assistance. The coordinated efforts underscore the Army’s role as a dependable pillar of support in times of natural calamities.

Through these relief missions, Sapta Shakti Command continues its ethos of “Delivering Hope, Saving Lives” and stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the citizens of Rajasthan, reinforcing faith and resilience in the face of adversity.
