The NDRF’s four-member canine squad has been invaluable for its missions in Turkey as rescue teams work their way through alien topography and thick layers of concrete rubble in freezing temperatures. During a mission last week in the city of Nurdagi, which is near the epicentre of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked the region on February 6, burying thousands of people under the rubble of houses that collapsed, the NDRF team had “solid inputs” that a survivor was stuck under the debris.
