Vadodara: With over two lakh people in the city facing a flood-like situation as Vishwamitri river is in spate after incessant rains, the civic body here has sought the Army’s help to provide food packets to those stranded in inundated residential areas.
“We have approached the Army for its help to drop food packets and drinking water bottles by helicopters in the affected areas as it difficult to supply relief material to them since several city areas are waterlogged,” Vadodara municipal commissioner manish Bhardwaj said.
Over two lakh people are affected due to river water inundating the residential areas mostly in western parts of the city.
The administration had on Tuesday shifted 1,500 people from these areas.
