Uttarkashi: Uttarkashi Anchor There is a struggle going on to search for the lives that became victims of the fierce form of Kheer Ganga in Uttarkashi. Among them, there are some people who are buried under several feet of debris. To find such people, NDRF has for the first time sent K-9 team with sniffer dogs to Dharali. Earlier, NDRF’s K-9 team (sniffer dogs) has proved its capabilities in Turkey and Myanmar as well. This team of NDRF has started search operations in Dharali along with SDRF and ITBP. Rescue teams have so far rescued more than 700 people from the disaster affected areas of Uttarkashi and brought them to their destinations.
Apart from this, people trapped around Ground Zero in Dharali have also been evacuated from there. Along with this, the work of searching for people buried under about 15 feet of debris has also started. With the help of various equipment and machines, rescue teams are engaged in carrying out this rescue operation. Meanwhile, NDRF has also deployed its special sniffer dogs in the search. Their handlers are continuously searching for people buried under the debris in a specified area. NDRF DIG Gambhir Singh Chauhan said that a team of six dogs has been deployed here. Two of these dogs have received special training which sniff out human remains buried under the rubble and indicate them. After this, the work of removing the rubble is done in the same area. They are being used for the first time in India. With the help of such NDRF dogs, Operation Brahma was carried out after the earthquake in Myanmar.
