Jharkhand to Launch Action Plan and Portal to Reduce Disaster Casualties
The Jharkhand government plans to launch a statewide action plan to reduce casualties from lightning strikes, drowning, snakebites, and road accidents. An integrated 'Jharkhand Disaster Relief Management' portal, piloted in Dhanbad and Bokaro, will map vulnerable spots and provide safety information. Official data shows 431 deaths from these disasters in three months last year, excluding road accidents, which cause around 3,000 annual deaths. The plan includes specialized rescue training and awareness initiatives to mitigate losses.
