Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A joint team of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and Indian Army conducted mock drill on flood prevention and rescue operations on Upper Lake here on Friday.

The exercise was aimed to ensure a quick and coordinated response in case of an emergency, enhance efficiency in rescue, relief operations and strengthen cooperation and coordination between various agencies. In joint exercise, relief, search and rescue operations were demonstrated keeping in mind the situation of flood.

"Today, a mock drill was conducted by Army and SDRF team. Efforts were made to deal with flood situation and to rescue people affected by them. Different situations were created in mock drill such as rescuing someone stuck on an island, trapped in a house surrounded by water or trees," additional chief secretary JN Kansotiya said.

Drones were also used in mock drill. They were used to show how could the rescue equipment be delivered to affected people. “It was a very good attempt. We will review it and see how we can maximise the use of drones,” Kansotiya added. The civil administration takes assistance of Army when required during field operations, which helps in saving the lives of people. The SDRF team also gets help with it, he added.
