Delhi Government Initiates Formation of State Disaster Emergency Relief Force
Following the Satya Niketan building collapse that killed seven people, the Delhi government has initiated the formation of a State Disaster Emergency Relief Force (SDERF) to enhance disaster preparedness and response. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta led meetings with National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) officials to design the force, which will include trained personnel and specialized equipment. The proposed battalion of around 1,100 members aims to ensure faster mobilization and better coordination during emergencies, reducing reliance on central teams. Concurrently, the government has intensified inspections and actions against illegal constructions and unsafe PG accommodations.
