The policemen and the officials of the ITDA Revenue Department assured the tribals of all help. They advised the ethnic tribes not to venture to come out of the village, considering the torrential rains. They advised them to drink hot and filtered water to prevent seasonal diseases. They also gave tarpaulins and plastic covers to stay dry from rains.
The team of cops and authorities had to wade through the stream, which was suddenly flooded due to downpours when they were returning from the tiny tribal habitation. They managed to cross the water body using ropes provided by residents of another village and reached Narnoor mandal centre. They were lauded by the Superintendent of Police for risking their lives to reach out to the needy.
