They are real life superheroes" says Rajnath Singh praising TMR team

 

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has come forward and felicitated the “Tiranga Mountain Rescue” team for saving the lives of the armed forces personnel from natural calamities like avalanches and sandstorms. The meeting took place in the National Capital to congratulate the TMR team for working tirelessly to rescue and train the Indian defence personnel. Every winter, the TMR team visits over 140 locations across the country, training thousands of soldiers, to build a team that can provide professional and specialized training as well as a comprehensive rescue support system to the Indian Army on a long-term basis.  The team is focused on providing avalanche rescue and training to Indian Army mountain craft personnel.

In numerous avalanche-prone border locations, the TMR has sent six teams in coordination with the Indian Army. Three teams are stationed in Kashmir, two in Ladakh, and one in Sikkim. Till now, the TMR team has trained over 20,000 defence forces personnel and the squad of mountaineers who have completed multiple mitigation and rescue missions under the leadership of Col. Satish Sharma (retd.).

The TMR Bravehearts squad consists of approximately 20 experienced mountaineers (both veterans and civilians) who are continually trained by Air – Zermatt in Switzerland, the world's premier mountain and avalanche rescue organization. The training assures that the TMR crew is ready for the upcoming missions with maximal toughness. Some of the reputed personalities who attended the event are Director General Military Operations Lt Gen BS Raju, Vice Chief of the Army Staff Lt Gen Manoj Pande, and other senior military officials.  

TMR teams landed in Srinagar in November 2018 and met with Chinar Corps Commander Lt Gen AK Bhatt, who reaffirmed the commitment to safeguard soldiers' lives. Tiranga Mountain  Rescue has provided rescue services in the most dangerous, high-risk, and avalanche-prone sections of the Alps from 2016 to 2018. Furthermore, TMR is also offering advanced training for cover, route analysis, rescue, and other operations.
