An Indian Army Task Force from the Corps of Engineers has been deployed to assist in the recovery of an Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) of the Indian Air Force (IAF) that was submerged in the floodwaters of the Lakhandei river in Muzaffarpur District, Bihar.
The Task Force, equipped with specialized equipment and expertise in construction and engineering, has been instrumental in paving the way to the site and constructing working platforms for the IAF Technical Team. These platforms provide a stable and secure environment for the technical personnel to safely access and recover the helicopter.
The recovery operation is a complex and delicate task, given the challenging conditions posed by the flooded terrain. The Indian Army’s involvement has been crucial in ensuring the safety of personnel and the successful recovery of the IAF helicopter.
