Mock drill helps students learn how to react in an emergency

July 8, 2011
Mangalore, July 8: An effective response in an emergency, whether it is a bomb blast or a serious road accident, can sometimes save lives. And 540 students belonging to NCC wing on Friday, learnt how, by witnessing a mock drill that was conducted by National Disaster Management Authority of India in association with District Administration at Karnataka Polytechnic, Kadri here.

The Cadets were initially briefed on the different kinds of injuries that could result from a disaster, such as a bomb blast, for instance. The Officials of department of the fire and emergency services and health department gave lecture-demonstration on handling accidents involving high rise buildings, rescue operations, fire fighting, first-aid tips and managing people injured in such incidents.

The mock drill turned out to be so real that some commuters and public really wondered whether there was indeed an emergency operation going on.

“It was a convincing imitation of a real-life situation and the message reached students effectively. In future, they will know how to react during a disaster and help rescue workers,” said Additional Deputy Commissioner SA Prabhakar Sharma.

Udupi, Dec 1: A horrific case of alleged rape has unfolded in Udupi, where a worker from a Hindutva organisation, previously arrested and released on bail for harassing a young woman, is now accused of waylaying and sexually assaulting her.

The arrested individual has been identified as Pradeep Poojary (26), a member of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike's Nairkode unit in Perdur.

Poojary had allegedly been relentlessly harassing the young woman, pressuring her to marry him. When she bravely stood up to him and refused his demands, she filed a formal complaint at the Hiriyadka police station. He was subsequently arrested in that initial harassment case but was later granted bail.

According to police reports, driven by the same malicious grudge, Poojary allegedly intercepted the woman again on November 29. While she was walking through a deserted area, the accused is claimed to have threatened her by grabbing her neck. When she again refused to marry him, he allegedly proceeded to rape her.

The survivor immediately informed her family about the traumatic assault. Following this, her parents lodged a complaint at the Udupi women’s police station.

Police arrested Poojary again and produced him before the court. He has since been remanded to judicial custody.
