Operation Lifeline: Vajra Gunners and NDRF Unleash Massive Joint Disaster Drill to Bulletproof India’s Crisis Response

BATHINDA, FEB 28 — In a powerful display of tactical “Synergy in Action,” the Indian Army’s elite Vajra Gunners joined forces with the 7th Battalion of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) for a high-octane Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) exercise.

This wasn’t just a drill; it was a masterclass in interoperability, designed to bridge the gap between military precision and civilian rescue expertise.

By simulating catastrophic, real-world disaster scenarios, the joint units focused on drastically accelerating response cycles—the critical minutes that dictate the margin between life and death during a national emergency.

The exercise saw ground-level coordination pushed to its limits, ensuring that every “Vajra” soldier and NDRF specialist operates as a single, cohesive unit.

From advanced casualty evacuation techniques to the deployment of specialized search-and-rescue hardware, the drill sharpened the edge of India’s contingency readiness.

By reinforcing these joint protocols, the Vajra Gunners have signaled a defiant readiness to safeguard the nation not just on the battlefield, but against the unpredictable fury of nature.

Whether in the heat of war or the silence of peace, this alliance stands as an ironclad guarantee of public safety, proving that when disaster strikes, India’s first responders are already ten steps ahead.
