Ten flood relief teams, equipped with eight BAUTs, two inflatable boats, and supported by three BAUTs from the Indian Army, were deployed for the rescue operations. Troops also undertook emergency repairs of the breached Iril River boundary wall near Arapti Lamkhai in Lilong, Thoubal District, to control further flooding. At JNIMS hospital, boats were used to ferry stranded patients to safety.
Nearly 800 bottles of drinking water and other essential supplies were distributed to displaced families across relief zones.
