| Water rescue exercise carried out by SDRF at River Chenab, Akhnoor | |
Jammu, November 17, (Scoop News)- Today a water rescue exercise was carried out in river Chenab at Akhnoor wherein 03 teams of SDRF Jammu took part alongwith 02 inflatable motor boats and 01 manual inflatable boat. The exercise was prepared under the supervision of Commandant SDRF 2nd Bn Smt Reshmi Wazir and the team of her officers/officials dealing with training and rescue operations.
Shri Dilbag Singh, IPS Commandant General/DGP HG/CD & SDRF, J&K visited the site to witness the exercise alongwith SSP Shri Shabir Ahmed Malik and to have a capacity assessment of the water rescue teams. In the recent past a team of 15 officials of SDRF 2nd Bn Jammu were taken to Srinagar for basic training in swimming and boat driving. They also participated in this exercise. It was observed that the number of SDRF personnel skilled in swimming and boat driving is very limited for which more and more people need to be trained.
At the level of Directorate more such trainings are being planned and currently 01 boat driving course is going on in Dal Lake Srinagar.
The SDRF also needs good water divers as there is hardly any one trained for this job. Arrangements are being tied up with some professional institute who could provide diving skills to selected persons of both the SDRF Battalions. Soon a team would be trained in diving after the arrangements are finalized.
