Severe difficulties faced in the operationThe rescue personnel are facing severe challenges in this mountainous area of Dhada Hara, the main reasons for which are as follows:
The area is extremely rocky and consists of steep climbs, where it is impossible for fire tenders (firefighting vehicles) to reach. The rescue personnel are having to carry the equipment up on foot and by traditional methods.
