The Centre on Monday said that it has fully mobilised the disaster relief mechanism and sent around 1,000 personnel of the National Disaster Response Force to Orissa and West Bengal to deal with the crisis.
We have fully mobilized the disaster relief mechanism. Nearly 400 personnel of the NDRF have been mobilized. 76 boats and rescue materials are ready. An equal number of NDRF personnel are also being moved, Union home minister P Chidambaram told reporters here.
Life was thrown out of gear in several parts of coastal Orissa and West Bengal due to heavy rains accompanied by high-velocity wind today under the impact of a cyclonic storm in Bay of Bengal.
