Troops of the Indian Army's Spear Head Division under the Spear Corps rescued 27 stranded civilians from flood-hit areas in Assam's Dhemaji district on Monday as part of a coordinated humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operation carried out alongside the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the civil administration, officials said. 

The rescue operation was conducted at Arun Chapori village in Dhemaji district after incessant rainfall and a sudden rise in water levels inundated several villages, leaving residents stranded. According to the Army, personnel were swiftly mobilised following the emergency and worked under adverse weather and difficult terrain conditions to evacuate the trapped civilians to safer locations.
