To provide instant relief to the disaster-affected people, State is going to have National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF), in which three companies would be stationed in Haridwar and six in Garhwal, Kumaon and Dehradun.
The decision was taken during a meeting between senior State Government officials and National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) members, in Dehradun on Wednesday. During meeting, they discussed about how to establish effective mechanism to mitigate the damage after disaster.
local police and administration officials will be trained by NDRF about how to provide relief to disaster-affected people. The State Government has identified 233 villages, which are need to be shifted in view of disaster, so they would put proposal before the Planning Commission to bear its financial burden which is required for shifting of these villages.
They have decided to conduct intensive study about the river and watershed with the held of Geological survey of India (GSI). It has been noticed that large amount of silt come into the river due to landslide or cloud burst, so there is need to send a proposal before the Union Government about de-silting of the river. NDMA would have deliberation about to include cloud burst and land erosion under disaster notification.
It has been noticed that large chunk of roads get washed away due to landslide or cloud burst every year so BRO would be asked to prepare a proposal of disaster resistance road and send it to Union Government.
Besides training, NDMA would also provide high standard equipments to the State Government and will also request Planning Commission to give financial assistance to the State as well.
