Centre asks NDRF to opt for India-made equipment

In an effort to boost the self-reliant India initiative, the Centre has directed the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to go for indigenous equipment used during chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) emergencies.

Sources said the Ministry of Home Affairs has recently carried out several rounds of meetings with the NRDF pertaining to the “indigenisation of equipment used for Disaster Management”.
