SRINAGAR: Secretary PHE, I&FC and Disaster Management, Relief, Rehabilitation & Reconstruction, Farooq A Shah reviewed draft guidelines for J&K State Disaster Mitigation Fund here today. It was decided that an action plan for disaster mitigation would be formulated with a corpus of Rs 10 crore. The meeting was informed that the said amount will solely be spent on disaster mitigation.
Farooq Shah directed the officials to organize community-based disaster management programmes and involve local socio-religious committees so that they provide volunteers for training who can become first responders in any kind of disaster.
