| QRTs ineffective without necessary equipments | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 17: More than 2 ½ years have passed, since the Chief Minister Omar Abdulla had announced a proposal for fully equipped Quick Rescue Teams (QRTs), to be deployed alongwith ambulances for immediate rescue operations during road accidents on National Highway in the state.
In fact some QRT’s were constituted at the district level for quick rescue operations, immediately after the proposal, under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioners of various districts.
But, due to non-availability of the necessary equipments which are to be required in the critical conditions at the extended risky highway in the mountainous regions of Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban districts, these teams have not been able to perform their duties according to their potential.
It is pertinent to mention that on February 2009, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had announced the deployment of QRTs.
It may be mention here that more than 1300 people have lost their lives various road accidents in Jammu and Kashmir during the past 15-months while nearly 10,000 people have received injured in such incidents.
Minister for Transport, Qamar Ali Akhoon was not available for the official version even after repeated attempts.
