Helicopters Deploy NDRF to North Sikkim
In response to the ongoing disaster in North Sikkim, one V-5 helicopter has landed at Pakyong Greenfield Airport, deploying teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). The NDRF units are equipped with satellite phones and essential emergency equipment.
The first sortie of the day, comprising 23 NDRF personnel equipped with essential supplies, has successfully proceeded towards Chaten from Pakyong Greenfield Airport.
The deployment aims to bolster on-ground efforts in the remote region, where access has been severely hampered due to recent natural disruptions. The teams will aid in evacuation, rescue and the establishment of temporary communication lines to assist affected residents. Authorities have issued directives to explore alternate foot-access routes and assess the feasibility of helipad operations, depending on prevailing weather conditions. Efforts are made to reach isolated communities and ensure timely aid.
