@Koovie chack this out:

A swanky hotel in the city was targeted by “terrorists” who “killed” the security guard before taking its guests hostage in the early hours of Friday. Their demand: “handing over a judge who had awarded death sentence to one of their ilk”.

The police responded promptly, initiated counter-terrorism measures and diffused the situation after securing release of the hostages and arresting the “terrorists”.

Mission accomplished. This was a counter terrorism drill conducted by security agencies comprising a crack team of commandos attached to the Garuda and the Mysore police.

More than 90 commandos participated in the drill, which was planned and executed with the help of the local police, and ended after six hours at around noon.

The Garuda Force personnel gave practical lessons to the local police on various counter-terrorism measures that could be initiated to rescue hostages in case of a crisis.

The drill is reckoned to have enhanced the capabilities of the local police significantly. Commissioner of Police K.L. Sudheer was present. Senior police officers, crew from the local Fire Services Department, Mysore City Corporation officials and others participated in the exercise held in the city on Friday.

I believe so, yes. After 2010 Summer JK police and CRPF operating in JK procured huge amounts of non-lethal and riot kit.

GREAT news!!

NEW DELHI: Transport vehicles converted into ambulances with virtually non-existent emergency care facilities for patients would be phased out over next few years. According to the draft code for ambulance — being prepared by an expert group set up by the road transport and highways ministry — the new norms would be stricter to ensure patients' safety during transit.

The Centre is formulating codes for ambulances for the first time after a working group on emergency care observed the conspicuous absence of the concept in India. Now, ambulances are found to be like any other transport vehicle, and consequently ill-equipped to ferry patients. "These vehicles ferry patients because of deficiencies in our laws. Goods vehicles without necessary safety features have been converted into ambulances and naturally are more prone to accidents," said one of the members of the working group.

Consequently, majority of ambulances have no proper storage facility, non-ambulatory ventilator support system and other necessary features.

Soon the Centre would define an ambulance after the code is finalized. Sources said ambulance in "brilliant white" will be designed and built in a manner so that it doesn't disintegrate even if it turns turtle. Besides, ceiling, interior sidewalls and doors of patient's compartment will be non-permeable and resistant to disinfectant. Moreover, patient cabin will be complete with a digital display panel to show status of oxygen supply.

Highway ministry officials said that there would be four categories of ambulances based on patients' condition. "Medical first responder" will be two/three-wheeler with necessary first-aid, but won't transport patients. "Patient transport vehicle" will be designed to transport stable patients for non-emergency transfers like scheduled visits for treatment, routine physical examinations, x-rays etc.

"Basic life support ambulance" will be designed and equipped with staff for transportation and treatment of patients requiring non-invasive airway management/basic monitoring. And, "advanced life support ambulance" will be designed and equipped for transport and treatment of emergency patients requiring invasive airway management and intensive monitoring.
