In addition, one Column of 1 PARA SF and 205 Army Aviation Squadron have been deployed for civil evacuation at Paonta Sahib. “Two MI-17V5 helicopters have been deployed for an evacuation mission.”
Sunday, the IMD issued a red alert for a number of areas in Himachal Pradesh, indicating that heavy precipitation is expected to persist for the next couple of days.
