CBRN COVER FOR G-20 SUMMIT

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) deployed 115 nos of specialized teams for CBRN cover against any probable CBRN exigency in 46 different cities across the country to cover various events of International G-20 Summit. In addition to its deployment, NDRF also conducted regular mock drills in collaboration with all stakeholders. These drills served as a proactive measure, ensuring that all agencies involved were well-prepared and could coordinate seamlessly during any possible CBRN exigency.

The main event was conducted from 9-10 September 2023 at New Delhi in which Heads of State and Heads of Govt of G-20 member Nations and Heads of various International Organizations participated.

During this important occasion in order to counter any possible CBRN contingency, NDRF was tasked to provide CBRN cover to all the Venues and the Hotels where the delegates were scheduled to stay.

NDRF deployed about 600 well-trained Rescuers in 11 teams equipped with the latest CBRN equipment. Besides, four state of the art Hazmat vehicles fabricated by M/S Bharat Electronics Limited at Pune and equipped with the latest gadgets for Chemical and Radiation detection and assessment were also deployed at strategic locations to counter any possible CBRN threat.
