Thousands rescued in JK

TRACKING WITH GOOGLE APP: Seeking to boost search and surveillance capabilities of rescue teams in flood-hit Jammu and Kashmir, a successful Uttarakhand 'Google' application is being pressed into service by the government. The Google application called 'Person Finder' is a customized exclusive web application that allows individuals to post and search for the status of relatives or friends affected by a disaster. NDRF Director General O P Singh says that that they are in talks with Google authorities and the system is expected to be operationalised by Sept 10.
