New Delhi, Jan 19: Prime Minister, Narendra Modi on Wednesday extended warm wishes to the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) on its raising day and said the Force courage and professionalism are extremely motivating.
In a series of tweets, “Greetings to the hardworking NDRF team on their raising day. They are at the forefront of many rescue and relief measures, often in very challenging circumstances. NDRF’s courage and professionalism are extremely motivating. Best wishes to them for their future endeavours.”
“Disaster management is a vital subject for governments and policy makers. In addition to a reactive approach, where disaster management teams mitigate the situation post disasters, we also have to think of disaster resilient infrastructure and focus on research in the subject,” he said.
The PM further said India has undertaken an effort in the form of the ‘Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure.’ We are also working on further sharpening the skills of our NDRF teams so that we can save maximum life and property during any challenge, he added.
