BHUBANESWAR: Four foreign marine safety experts have started a training programme for local lifeguards to prevent drowning deaths on Puri beach.
Jonathan Robinson and Nick Schriver (both from California), Richard Bedford from Australia and Emilio Cavazos from Mexico reached Odisha last week following a request from the Puri Beach Lifeguard Mahasangha to organise the training programme. The foreign lifeguards belong to International Surf Lifesaving Association (ISLA).
