They were evacuated by combined teams of the Indian Air Force, Army, ITBP, NDRF and the district administration.

Three persons died in the tragedy.

"At 8 pm today, PM Narendra Modi will interact with personnel of IAF, Indian Army, NDRF, ITBP, local administration and civil society who were involved with rescue operations at Deoghar," the prime minister's office said. -- PTI
