Indian Railways trains Workers in Underwater Rescue!

Recently the Indian Railways collaborated with the Indian Railways Institute of Disaster Management (IRIDM) to start training officers in underwater rescue. This training was done from 10th to 14th April at IRIDM to prepare officers for the rarest of rare situations, where underwater rescue comes into play.

I believe that this training is essential as according to me it is necessary to always be ready for the worst-case scenario. I am glad to see that the Indian Railways is preparing for such cases and is building the capacity of its officers. Brijmohan Aggarwal, the director general of railway safety also echoed a belief similar to one that I have when he said "This is the first batch.... once they graduate, we will bring in more officers for training. This will be a continuous process and the trained staffers will be placed across the country." I also believe that capacity building is a continuous process and it is one that never stops and the situation in society can always be improved.
