Bokaro youth eager to take the big dive

Bokaro: A team of 13 divers from the district want to do their bit to help victims devastated by the Chennai floods. The youth have experience conducting rescue operations in rivers, ponds and dams in the district.
The team comprising Sarmad Ansari, Zibrail Ali, Mehtab Alam, Niyaj Ansari, Manovar Azad, Badre Raja, Kyummudin Ansari, Dil Mohammad, Karim Ansari, Mumtaj Ansari, Seraj Ansari, Mumtaz Sai and Hasan Raza are residents of Khetko village under Petarwar block.
Sarmad said the team wants to do their bit to help people affected by floods in Chennai. "We can help people there as we have the expertise in conducting rescue operations in water. We could have left for Chennai earlier, but we do not have the financial resources to fund our trip. We have written to Bokaro DC Manoj Kumar, requesting him to make arrangements to send us there."
They have risked their lives in the past and have been monetarily rewarded by the district administration. There are a number of Bokaro residents who were trapped for the past few days in Chennai and surrounding areas after heavy floods brought the city to a standstill. A few residents who visited Vellore and Shankar Netralay for treatment have been stuck there for the past few days.
