Nellore : The three-day training programme held at Adani Krishnapatnam Port was concluded on Saturday. National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) has organised the training to overcome problems related to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergency management (CBRN EM) from Thursday.

The NDMA has been conducting this kind of training for first responders at various airports and seaports across the country.

AKPL COO Rajan Babu said the probability of CBRN incidents to occur without warning had prompted authorities concerned to impart sensitisation and preparedness training for first responders in the backdrop of scenarios evolving to attack at any location across the globe.
