The government is working on the policy of "zero casualties" during disasters, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pledge of making India a developed country by 2047, Union Minister Nityanand Rai said in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
Moving the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill 2024 for consideration and passage, Rai said that since the Modi government has come to power, losses have come down due to able disaster management techniques.
Members of the Opposition expressed reservations on the bill during the discussion, alleging that it would lead to centralisation of power in the hands of the Union government, but the minister asserted that the legislation was framed to address the difficulties flagged by the states.
