Civil Defence Division 9 Launch - Rajaji Nagar

The Civil Defence and its volunteers will not attempt to step into the police forces shoes. They will serves as extra hands, eyes, and ears to the police in times of peace and emergency.

Area Suraksha Mitras (ASMs) are citizen security representatives from local communities. Typically, an ASM “area” corresponds to a polling booth, i.e., it comprises of 3-4 streets and approximately 1200 residents. The roles and responsibilities for the Area Suraksha Mitras (also known as Wardens) will include: Establishing working relationships with the local police authorities to share area information at an agreed upon frequency, report proactively on suspicious objects and people as well as any untoward incidents that occur in your area, attend periodic mock drills, give general advice on Civil Defence to your area’s residents, and help recruit volunteers for Civil Defence forces among others.
