Bhubaneswar: Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) units were among the first responders of Cyclone FANI. Even before the landfall of Cyclone, the ODRAF teams had begun clearing the trees that had been uprooted by the gusting winds.
Four days after landfall of the ferocious FANI, a trail of destruction has been left behind. Wires have snapped and big sturdy trees have tumbled down. Swinging into action immediately, the ODRAF teams launched massive operations to restore normalcy.
From clearing the destroyed green cover, helping in untangling the wires and distributing water in slums- the ODRAF personnel have been working for endless hours now, without any complaints, and have emerged as real heroes bearing the message ‘Service To Mankind is service to God’. Here are some pictures of them:
