Bangalore International Airport Ltd has become the first airport or corporate entity to have its own formal civil defence unit.
The first 35 volunteers from among employees of various agencies at the airport, who took a pledge, are being trained to be ready to save lives and property in times of a crisis or disasters around the airport area.
The unit is called the Bengaluru International Airport Area Division Number 22, a BIAL release said. The volunteers were trained for a week by the Karnataka’s Directorate of Civil Defence in disaster management, casualty and communication services, fire fighting, rescuing people, community patrol and mitigating accidents
