UP Govt Forms Civil Defence Corps in All Districts
Imagine Uttar Pradesh is getting ready for any kind of trouble, like floods or other emergencies.
The government is creating teams called Civil Defence Corps in every part of the state to help.
This is a big deal because it's the first time since 1962 that they are doing this everywhere.
These teams will be in charge of helping people during emergencies.
The people in charge will be the District Magistrates.
This plan will make it easier for communities to be safe.
Uttar Pradesh government is establishing Civil Defence Corps across all 75 districts.
This is the first comprehensive expansion since the initial setup in 1962.
District Magistrates will serve as controllers, overseeing civil defense activities.
The move aims to strengthen disaster management and community resilience.
The expansion follows a notification issued under the Civil Defence Act of 1968.
