Bengal disaster management force 'Arjun Vahini' to be operational from September: CM Suvendu Adhikari
West Bengal is set to unveil Arjun Vahini, its new disaster management force, starting operations in September. This strategic response is a direct reflection of lessons learned from previous disasters and cyclones. The state will provide advanced equipment and vehicles for the unit, aiming to recruit ex-servicemen and Agniveers. With this move, the government seeks to bolster disaster preparedness and response capabilities across the region.
