“The Army was deployed on August 24 to rescue nearly 300 people stranded in a flood-like situation in Rajasthan’s Bundi district,” officials said.
Bundi Collector Ravindra Goswami said close to 300 people are stuck at four locations in low lying areas in Lakheri. The area is inundated due to inflow of water in the Mej river — a tributary of Chambal river — flowing through the district. He said the Army was deployed to lead the rescue operations.
