Eight persons stranded in two hotels were air lifted by Naval Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) in a swift Search and Rescue mission undertaken at Dongri in the Gangavalli river belt when local attempts for rescue were unsuccessful.
The Naval ALH was launched from INS Hansa and successfully completed rescue of the stranded people in over two hours.
In addition to providing aerial support to Karwar rescue efforts, a sortie was made to Ganjem near Ponda to check and verify the receding water levels. Another ALH has been deployed at flood affected Ratnagiri to undertake Search And Rescue missions.
