Overview

• Sudden flooding along the Amochu River left families in temporary housing and workers at a camp stranded.
• With local air operations halted by weather, Bhutan sought urgent assistance from India.
• Two Indian Army helicopters evacuated the trapped workers to safety, and those in need were moved for immediate medical care.
• The Royal Government of Bhutan issued thanks to the Indian Army as well as the Royal Bhutan Army and Drukair teams.
• Early reports of two missing workers were later revised after they were found alive, and a Bhutanese helicopter conducted an additional evacuation once conditions improved.
