POONCH: In an important initiative aimed at strengthening emergency response capabilities, a comprehensive training session on Basic Life Support (BLS), first aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) was organized for police personnel here today.

The training was conducted by Divya International Foundation under the overall supervision of Chief Medical Officer Dr. Parvaiz Ahmed Khan. The session witnessed participation of around 100 police personnel, equipping them with essential life-saving skills.

The training was imparted to the Police personnel by a team of expert comprising Dr. Puneet Kar, Nodal Officer (Basic Life Support), Dr. Anubhav Khaturia, Syed Qamar Abbas Jafri and Ajaz Bhatt. They provided both theoretical knowledge and practical demonstrations, especially focusing on CPR techniques to be used during emergencies and the crucial “golden hour.”

Participants were trained in handling critical situations such as fractures, excessive bleeding, dog bites and insect bites. The trainers emphasized the importance of timely intervention and correct procedures to stabilize patients before advanced medical care becomes available.

A practical session on CPR was also conducted, allowing police personnel to gain hands-on experience. The program concluded with an interactive question-and-answer session, where participants clarified their doubts.
