KOLKATA: The Army was deployed in Kolkata and neighbouring districts on Saturday for the restoration of essential infrastructure and services in the wake of the destruction caused by Cyclone Amphan, a defence official said.
Five columns of the Army were deployed in different parts of the city and North and South 24-Parganas districts, he said. These three parts of the state reported the maximum damage due to the cyclone.
This came after the West Bengal Home Department said the government had mobilised just about everyone it could within the constraints of the lockdown in a “unified command mode” but was falling short of help in the immediate restoration of essential infrastructure and services. The state also asked for aid from the Railways and the private sector in providing manpower and equipment.
