Conversion of two additional
battalions of Sashastra Seema Bal for National Disaster Response Force (NDRF)
and for strengthening existing NDRF battalions
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri
Narendra Modi, today gave its approval for the conversion of two additional
battalions of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) for the National Disaster Response
Force (NDRF) and for strengthening existing NDRF battalions.
The objective of the conversion of these two additional battalions
of SSB into NDRF battalions is to provide response to the area of Eastern Uttar
Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh during any natural and manmade
disaster and to enhance the capability of the existing NDRF battalions. The
placement of two NDRF Battalions at Varanasi and Arunachal Pradesh will fill up
the vast gap of deployment of the NDRF.
