LEH: Bharat Singh Rawat, Control Room Officer of the Integrated Control Room for Emergency Response (ICR-ER), recently visited the State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) in Leh on Wednesday.
During his visit, he met with Shashanka Ala (IAS), the Relief Commissioner, to discuss enhancing coordination in disaster mitigation and relief operations during crisis.
