After reviewing the flood situation in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has instructed the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to send five more columns immediately to the flood-affected areas.

The Home Minister has also directed his ministry to dispatch around 70 boats to Jammu and Kashmir today itself for the rescue operations.

Control Rooms have been set up at Srinagar, Jammu and New Delhi to actively monitor and coordinate the rescue and relief operations in the state.

Rajnath has also appealed to all social organisations and NGOs to mobilise their resources to the flood-affected areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
