Disaster Management and Relief Minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya said Saturday the government is working for making 65,000 volunteers across the country so that they (volunteers) can act as fast response teams during any natural disaster, reports BSS.
"Out of 65,000 intending disaster volunteers, we have already imparted training to 40,000 volunteers," he said when speaking as the chief guest at national natural disaster rescue demonstration displayed by Bangladesh Scouts members on the Dhaka College field.
The minister said the extent of losses and damages due to natural disasters could be reduced, if volunteers' teams at ward levels for urban areas and union levels for rural areas remain active.
