Three day training program on disaster prevention concluded

Additional Deputy Commissioner Solan Rahul Jain said that trained persons play an important role in minimising the losses due to sudden disaster. Rahul Jain was addressing the closing ceremony of the three-day training programme on formation of task force at Panchayat level organised by District Disaster Management Authority Solan here today.
Rahul Jain said that the aim of the workshop is to make people aware about minimising the loss caused by disaster in Solan district. He said that it is necessary to take immediate precautions for rescue during a disaster. Delay in this can further increase the loss of life and property, therefore it is very important to have information about rescue and respond quickly during a disaster.
He urged the volunteers who received training to ensure that the information given in the workshop is disseminated to the general public so that the damage caused by disaster can be minimized. He said that it is necessary to ensure that emergency numbers are publicized in all the Gram Panchayats so that in case of disaster, proper help can be provided to the affected people.
He also honoured about 50 people from seven panchayats who participated in the training camp by giving them certificates.
Block Development Officer Solan Ramesh Sharma, Vijay Singh of District Disaster Management Office and other participants attended the workshop.
