The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Monday has released four helicopters to conduct flood rescue and relief operations in different parts of Rajasthan.

Four 04 Mi-17v5 helicopters from bases at Rajasthan's Jamnagar, Jodhpur and Phalodi have been assigned for the rescue operations.

Villages in Dhanera and Deesa Taluka of Gujarat's Banaskantha, Jalore and Pali districts have been the main focus of rescue operations at present.

The IAF helicopter crews have been braving extremely bad weather since morning and attempting to save as many lives wherever they find a window of opportunity to reach the stranded people.
