NDRF trains dogs to detect dead bodies: First cadaver unit to be commissioned soon; fills gap in resue ops

This initiative addresses a gap in current disaster response capabilities, as the focus has traditionally been on saving lives. The dogs are being trained using a special synthetic scent mimicking human decomposition, as obtaining actual body material is challenging.
