Here are six remarkable woman officers, who led flood-control operations in their respective districts in Punjab and Chandigarh, confronted both professional and personal challenges simultaneously, while enduring experiences that tested their resilience.
The Deputy Commissioner (DC) said that as flooded water and heavy rains have increased the apprehension of breaking out of diarrhoea, the residents should take precautions to prevent the disease.
The villages are Alamgir, Sadhawala, Dandehra, Khajur Mandi, Tiwana, Bahora and Bahori. Soon after receiving information, a National Disaster Relief Force team was rushed to the spot. While the majority of the residents were shifted to safer locations, over 1,000 villagers, majority of them women and children, were taken to shelter homes.
