Delhi seeks its own disaster task force

Delhi is taking steps to create its own State Disaster Response Force, seeking assistance from the National Institute of Disaster Management and the National Disaster Response Force to bolster its disaster preparedness. This move aims to integrate expertise from retired NDRF personnel, ensuring a well-trained team ready for emergencies. The initiative underscores the growing recognition of the need for a dedicated, local disaster management structure, especially as urban areas like Delhi face an increasing array of natural and man-made threats.
