Delhi Government Initiates Formation of State Disaster Response Force After Building Collapse
Following the Satya Niketan building collapse that killed seven people, the Delhi government has initiated the formation of a State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) comprising around 1,100 trained personnel. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta led meetings with National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) officials to plan the force's training, equipment, and rapid deployment capabilities. The SDRF aims to enhance local disaster preparedness and reduce reliance on external agencies. Additional training will be provided to Delhi Fire Service and Civil Defence volunteers to improve coordination during emergencies.
