The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) 10th Battalion will impart training to Karnataka’s State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) second batch on ‘Nuclear and Radiological Emergencies’ at the battalion headquarters at Kondapavuluru village of Gannavaram mandal, in Krishna district.

“Training will be given to about 30 SDRF personnel from March 11 to 23. We will train the force to understand radiation risks, evacuation procedures, and effective communication strategies to safeguard the community and respond effectively during nuclear emergencies,” said NDRF 10th Battalion Commandant Zahid Khan.

The training aims to enhance the force’s preparedness for handling nuclear incidents and response capabilities. The commandant said experts in the NDRF’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) team will provide training with case studies.
