Maiden Initiative: NDRF trains 162 dogs for disaster response

National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has raising a squad of 162 dogs for their specialised Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) tasks to succor its personnel in rescuing people after natural calamities.
  • NDRF has undertaken an exercise to train special USAR dogs as they are the best companion of a rescuer during such challenges.
  • This is the first time that dogs for disaster response are being trained on such a large scale indigenously.
A number of them have finished their regime and are being subjected to drills and field exercises where they are made to sniff out life in a collapsed concrete structure.
