We conducted sessions at the Kameng, Kamle, Siang, Noa-Dihing, and Dhalai Rivers. The response from local volunteers has been overwhelming. Everywhere, we’ve received suggestions to increase the duration of training and conduct more sessions. We will report to the government soon,” said Pada.<\/p>\n The two-day training aimed to equip local communities with essential lifesaving skills during river-related emergencies. The initiative commenced on 7 April along the Siang River in Upper Siang district. Similar training sessions have already been conducted along the Kameng, Noa-Dihing, and Kamle Rivers.<\/p>\n This five-part training initiative is powered by the Disaster Management Department, supported by the SDRF, and organized by BAC Voyages Tours, Treks & Expeditions. With the completion of the training in Anjaw, the five-river search and rescue training programme has concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Staff Reporter HAYULIANG, 31 May: The fifth and final session of the two-day intensive training in ‘river search & rescue’ concluded on Saturday along the banks of the Dhalai River in Anjaw district.
