Painting theme :- colour's of courage Making the pai ting on the incident of kerala flood . *CRPF in Kerala Flood Rescue 2018* During the devastating Kerala floods of 2018, the CRPF played a crucial role in rescue and relief operations. Working alongside the NDRF, Army, and state authorities, CRPF personnel reached the worst-hit districts like Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Pathanamthitta, and Idukki. They used boats, helicopters, and on-foot patrols to evacuate people trapped in submerged homes, including elderly citizens, women, and children. The CRPF also set up and managed relief camps, distributing food, drinking water, medicines, and blankets to affected families. Despite dangerous conditions, landslides, and strong currents, the jawans worked day and night without stopping. Their courage, discipline, a quick response helping hundreds and thousand people . Thank you CRPF 🇮🇳
