Drishti lifesavers trained in new global lifesaving skills for Covid-19

Kolkata, Oct 01 (UNI) Drishti Marine, the state-appointed lifeguard agency, has rolled out new kits for its 400-member strong force and is changing the spoken nomenclature to ‘lifesavers’.
A departure from its bright red uniforms of the past, the new kit features a Navy blue dry-fit tee-shirt over a full sleeve white dry-fit UV-protect rashguard, worn with red shorts. Goa Tourism’s trademark ‘Goa’ logo is inscribed as a crest on the top right of the tee-shirt while Drishti’s logo is printed on the sleeve and shorts. The new kits have ‘Lifesavers’ inscribed on the back of the tee-shirts.
Explained by Ravi Shankar who heads operations at Drishti Marine, “With our entire team trained and ready under new global lifesaving guidelines for Covid-19, we felt it was the right time to make a fresh departure. Our boys have worked throughout the lockdown as essential services and are now ready to welcome visitors to the beach under new normal codes of safety. A lifesaver is the final thread of hope for anyone in distress in the water. And Drishti’s lifesavers not only rescue people from the sea but have also been first responders for any emergency and medical situations which arise onshore; be it a cardiac arrest or a minor injury requiring first aid. They are also trained to correctly rescue and return to water any stranded beached marine life along the shore.”
