The Mysuru division of South Western Railway along with a team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) would be conducting a joint mock drill at Ashokapuram railway station in Mysuru on September 21.
“Train derailment-induced rescue and relief operations following the incident will be part of the drill”, said a statement from the Mysuru division of South Western Railway. It would be held from 10.30 a.m. onwards.
“The drill is aimed at further strengthening the existing system by eliminating potential slippages in real and seriously emergent situations in saving precious human lives”, said the statement issued by Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Manjunath Kanamadi.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
