Mock drill marks Disaster Management Day

Confusion gripped  the place as nobody had a clue on what must be done. Soon, members of the fire and emergency department got into action, much to the relief of everybody present.

It was a mock drill organised to mark the National Disaster Management Day, by the fire and emergency services department, Home Guards, medical staff and the police.

It was a demonstration by the staff of these departments on what needs to be done in such situations and how to rescue affected people.

Steps to be taken when there is a disaster situation in multi-storied buildings or when there is a fire mishap were also demonstrated.

Those present were all praise for the ‘timely action’ of the disaster management team.
