Flood situation still grim in Bengal; army, NDRF continue relief operations

The flood situation in south Bengal continued to remain grim on Friday, with water just marginally receding from some of the inundated areas, an official said. In the northern part of the state, three rivers in Malda district -- Ganga, Fulhar and Mahananda -- are in spate following heavy rain in the catchment areas, he said. The Army and NDRF personnel, during the day, distributed food, medicines and other relief materials in the flood-hit areas of Hooghly, according to the official.
