In an effort to bolster disaster preparedness, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta convened a pivotal meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) on Wednesday. The primary agenda encompassed assessing the capital's hazard vulnerabilities, with a spotlight on earthquake preparedness, urban flooding, and extreme heat events.
The meeting outlined the critical need for improved infrastructure, manpower, and technology, noting Delhi's unique position lacking a State Disaster Response Force (SDRF). The LG emphasized the urgency of land availability and logistics, with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) pledging technological support for upgrades. This initiative follows a sharp reminder of Delhi's seismic susceptibility after the February 18, 2025 earthquake.
Discussions also covered the microzoning of Delhi, highlighting high-risk areas such as the crowded colonies along the Yamuna River. The findings portray a grave concern for structural safety, particularly in unauthorized colonies. The meeting laid groundwork for a comprehensive Summer Heat Action Plan 2025 and flood management strategies, with a directive for swift action from attending officials.
