Punjab flood rescues enhanced by drone technology and thermal imaging

(Web Desk): For the first time in the country’s history, thermal imaging drone technology was successfully used to identify flood victims, enabling a successful rescue operation in remote and hard-to-reach areas.

In Jhang, including areas such as Semi Pull Bypass and Sargodha Road, drones were used to locate individuals and livestock trapped in the floodwaters.

During the operation, thermal imaging cameras detected five individuals and livestock surrounded by water. Their location was traced, and the rescue team immediately reached the flood-affected area.

The rescue team safely relocated all five individuals and the livestock to a secure location.

Similarly, in the river belt of Chishtian, the process of locating flood victims using drone cameras is ongoing.

In the flood-affected areas of the river belt in Bahawalnagar as well, thermal imaging drones are being deployed.

With the help of thermal imaging drone cameras, it has become easier to identify individuals and livestock trapped in floodwaters.
