LUCKNOW: Central Army Command launched an exclusive website on Wednesday for the benefit of flood affected people, their families and relatives. It is for the first time the army has come out with a website for a relief operation.

According to the press release issued by the Central Command, the site " suryahopes.in" gives minute to minute update on Army operations across Uttarakhand, location wise data of people stranded at various places, list of rescued persons, helpline numbers, latest news about flood victims and provides links to Uttarakhand government web site and google sites giving information on flood affected people. By logging on to this site, anyone from around the world can locate his near and dear ones. Although the data is not exhaustive, but it is being updated as and when the information is available.

Earlier in the day, for the first time since floods ravaged the hill districts of Uttarakhand resulting in extensive damage to road infrastructure, army engineers constructed an iron bridge across Alaknanda at Lambagar. Army engineers negotiated numerous land slides on Rishikesh - Badrinath road and thousands of stranded vehicles, to reach Lambagar last evening. Army constructed the bridge throughout the night despite inclement weather conditions to ensure that it is ready for use by pilgrims evacuating by foot from Bardinath.

Evacuation from both Harsil and Badrinath continued throughout the day. While 500 people have been evacuated from Harsil by air and 800 people have been evacuated from Barinath till filing of this report. As many as 375 have moved on foot. As per latest reports approximately 450 are still awaiting evacuation from Harsil and approximately 3000 are waiting for their turn at Badrinath. Army search operations in Jungle Chatti continued for the third day based on instructions given by Army Commander of Central Command. No stranded pilgrims were found. Veterniary medical aid team treated more than 100 animals today on Hemkund axis. The animals got stranded following washing away of bridge at Govind Ghat. Besides, two army psychiatrists interacted with stranded pilgrims and provided them counselling.

More than 5600 Army personnel are deployed across Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag and Pithoragarh districts of Uttarakhand for the past 10 days risking their own lives to save lives of our countrymen. Army has so far evacuated more than 33,000 people since June 17. While over 25,000 people were rescued by foot, over 8000 were moved out by helicopter. Thirteen Army Aviation aircraft conducted 600 sorties to evacuate 2715 people and ferry 24 tonnes of food, fuel, medicines, blankets and relief material to the people.
