Disaster management training for citizen-Nitish
Patna, Oct 29 (PTI) Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today stressed the need for imparting disaster management training to every citizen, especially the youths, so that they act on their own at the time of a natural calamity.
"There should be special schools where disaster management training programme is undertaken for every citizen, especially youths... It is necessary so that they are able to effectively guard on their own instead of becoming sudden victims of a natural calamity," Kumar told a function organised on the International Natural Disaster Lessening Day here.
He said there were certain areas which remained affected by floods every year, but the magnitude of the floods increases after an interval of two to three years.
