Ferozepur/Srinagar/New Delhi: The Indian Army has launched large-scale humanitarian relief under Operation Rahat after heavy monsoon rains triggered dangerous flood conditions in Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir. Troops from the Golden Arrow Division and Chinar Corps worked shoulder-to-shoulder with civilians, local authorities, and disaster response teams to prevent loss of lives and property.

In Rukhnewala Kalan, Ferozepur, a sudden surge in the Sutlej River threatened to breach embankments and submerge homes. Acting swiftly, soldiers of the Golden Arrow Division joined villagers in a tireless effort to reinforce the riverbanks.

The joint operation, carried out under continuous rainfall, prevented large-scale flooding and averted disaster. The Army described the effort as a living example of courage, unity, and the enduring bond between soldiers and citizens.
