CRPF Battalion Serves Cooked Food To Flood-Hit Assam Families
Floods covered many parts of Assam, a state in India, and made life very hard for people.
Many roads were blocked, so families could not get food easily.
A group of police officers called the CRPF decided to help.
They set up a big kitchen and cooked hot meals for people.
They sent the meals to villages that were hard to reach.
They also gave out food packets, clothes, and clean drinking water.
The same officers helped rescue people and animals who were stuck.
Local volunteers helped them with this work.
They did all of this quietly, without telling reporters or asking for praise.
Their kindness showed how people can help each other in tough times.
The CRPF's 149th Battalion ran a community kitchen serving hot, freshly cooked meals to flood-affected families in Sivasagar district, Assam.
The initiative was started under the supervision of DIG (Ops) Dibrugarh, Prabhakar Tripathi.
Along with cooked meals, the unit distributed ready-to-eat food packets, clothing and drinking water in collaboration with local organisations.
The same personnel also carried out rescue operations, helping stranded residents and even animals reach safety.
The relief effort ran without media briefings or public claims, marked by a complete absence of publicity.
