So far, we in India are weak in chemical disaster management and this effort will equip us to face any such eventuality,' said Lt. Gen J.R. Bharadwaj, member of the NDMA.
In the beginning 40 doctors from Delhi government hospitals will be trained. 'There will be no full stop in training of doctors on various aspects of this disaster,' Mishra said.
Major-General J.K. Bansal, a chemical disaster management expert with NDMA, said: 'Dirty bomb is the new threat during major events. These bombs have the capacity to spread radioactive rays. They can impact kidney, eyes, reduce fertility and cause many more health hazards.'
Bansal said there will be live demonstration of a possible situation. Doctors will be trained on how to deal with such a situation. 'The immediate medical care is required. The precaution needs to be taken.'
After training doctors in Delhi, doctors from Chandigarh too will be trained.
