NDRF trains dogs to detect dead bodies: First cadaver unit to be commissioned soon; fills gap in resue ops
Sunday, 20 July 2025 () NDRF is training dogs, primarily Belgian Malinois and Labradors, to locate human remains during rescue operations. This initiative addresses a gap in current disaster response capabilities, as the focus has traditionally been on saving lives. The dogs are being trained using a special synthetic scent mimicking human decomposition, as obtaining actual body material is challenging.
In a tragic crash near Kedarnath, an Aryan Aviation chopper carrying seven people—including a 23-month-old child and the pilot—plunged into a forest between Gaurikund and Sonprayag. All aboard were charred to death. The crash occurred during bad weather at 5:20 am. Victims include a temple committee employee, a Maharashtra family, and pilgrims from UP. The pilot attempted to steer out of the valley before the crash. NDRF, SDRF rushed for recovery. Helicopter services are suspended. A DNA test will be conducted before bodies are handed over to families.
