National Disaster Management Authority to help Gurgaon!

Haryana government is finally awake. They are now going to take help of the National Disaster Management Authority to launch a Disaster Preparedness and Resilience Initiative Pilot project.

Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner and chairman of the District Disaster Management Authority Rajendra Kataria spoke about this project: “We have prepared a plan keeping in mind the fast pace at which Gurgaon is developing. Our aim is to handle all sorts of crises, man-made or natural, by reducing the reaction time of the various bodies involved”.

They are also considering upgrading the fire brigade infrastructure in the city which is much needed looking at the growing population of the city.

In addition, the city administration is also planning to train manpower to deal with accidents and terrorist activities.

However, everything mentioned here and much more is just under planning stage right now. Nothing has been done!
