Heavy machinery has been deployed for the search and rescue operations at the landslide-hit Tupul area in the Noney district of Manipur.
Along with the heavy machinery, a sophisticated device is also being used by the search and rescue personnel in the landslide-hit Tupul area in Manipur.
This sophisticated device is ‘Through Wall Imaging Radar’.
