India will ensure zero casualty during heat waves: Shah

GHAZIABAD: (May 14) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said his ministry has prepared a plan to ensure zero human casualty during heat waves in the country in the next few years with the underlying principle of being “proactive” rather than “reactive” towards disasters.

The minister spoke after he presented the President’s Colour to the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) at the campus of its 8th battalion here.

The President’s Colour flag is awarded to a military or police unit for rendering exceptional service.
