Four people stranded on an island in Madhya Pradesh after sudden rise in water levels were rescued following an 11‑hour operation.
A group of four civilians found themselves stranded on a small island in Madhya Pradesh when water levels in the nearby river surged unexpectedly. The sudden rise cut off all land routes, leaving the group isolated.
Local authorities, including the district administration and the state disaster response team, launched a rescue mission that lasted 11 hours. Boats and helicopters were deployed to reach the island and bring the stranded individuals to safety.
The rescue operation was coordinated with the National Disaster Response Force, which provided technical support and medical assistance on the scene. All four people were reported to be in good health after the operation.
Officials have urged residents in low‑lying areas to remain vigilant during the monsoon season and to follow official advisories regarding water level changes.
