The Tribune reports on the announcement of a week-long disaster management awareness campaign to be launched in all districts of New Delhi.

“Such areas are highly vulnerable to chemical and industrial fire, flood and even terrorist attacks. A disaster can cause unprecedented and colossal damage to Delhi,” said Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.

The Tribune reports that Dikshit also said that "a number of hospitals and other buildings are being constructed as per quake-resistant norms apart from retrofitting. The city government has taken steps to include a topic on disaster management in school curriculum. Besides, mock drills are being organised and people being trained to meet any exigencies."
