Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that our top priority is to save the lives of people who trapped in floods due to excessive rain. Each and every person will be rescued and taken out. I myself have also been involved in rescuing the people of the flood affected area by boat. Chief Minister Chouhan visited the flood affected areas in Vidisha, Guna and Rajgarh districts by helicopter and was giving information on his return to State Hangar Bhopal. Earlier, he discussed the flood situation and rescue work with the Air Force officials at the State Hangar itself. Chief Minister Chouhan said that the water level of Betwa in Vidisha district is still stable. Around 25 villages in Vidisha, Guna and Rajgarh districts have been affected by the floods. Two helicopters of the Air Force have been deployed for the rescue operation. NDRF, SDERF, district administration and local administration are also engaged in the rescue operations. The assessment of damage to crops and property will be done later. Right now the first priority is to rescue people safely. Every effort is being made to rescue the people trapped in Gadla and Tajla villages of Vidisha safely with the boat. Chief Minister Chouhan again left for Kurwai. He said that he would also visit the flood affected areas of Raisen.
