Union Home Minister Amit Shah Tuesday announced three major schemes worth over Rs 8,000 crore that would cover the modernization of fire brigade services in all states, flood mitigation in seven major cities and prevention of landslides in 17 states. Addressing a meeting of the ministers of disaster management of states and Union Territories, Shah also appealed to ensure there is zero loss of life due to any disaster anywhere in the country.
Shah said the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has visited those states where seven nuclear power stations are being built and it sent a strict protocol to these states for adoption so that any incident of possible disaster could be avoided.
“I appeal to all those concerned states to make it a priority. Before the commissioning of the nuclear power plants and before the generation of power, whatever disaster prevention measures have to be taken, should be taken.
