In a relief and rescue operation, a team of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) pulled out four submerged vehicles from the river Ganga that were swept away by floods in a rain drain near Kharakhari in Haridwar on July 1.
Due to heavy rains in Haridwar, the water level of the Ganges river increased and there was a severe flood.
These vehicles were handed over to the district police and were washed away into the Ganga river due to the sudden overflowing of a rain drain near Kharakhari area following heavy rains in Haridwar early last week. After several hours of hard work, the SDRF team pulled out four vehicles from the river and handed them over to the district police. Heavy rains in Haridwar last week led to a massive flood as the water level in the Ganga river rose, causing vehicles to float and roads to remain inundated.
