DIMAPUR: Commissionerate of Police, Dimapur, in collaboration with the Department of Emergency Medicine, Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research (CIHSR), conducted a two-day training programme for traffic personnel on July 23 and 24, 2026.
The training aimed to equip traffic police personnel as first responders at road traffic accident sites. Participants received structured hands on training in emergency trauma care and pre hospital stabilisation of accident victims.
Road traffic accidents continue to claim numerous lives and leave many permanently disabled, often due to delayed or improper handling of victims immediately after a crash. As traffic personnel are usually the first to reach accident sites, their role in rescue, extraction, stabilisation and transportation of victims is critical. Equipping them with emergency care skills enables timely interventions during the golden hour, significantly improving survival chances and reducing long term disabilities.
Commissioner of Police, Dimapur, Aotula Imchen, expressed appreciation to the Director and staff of CIHSR’s Department of Emergency Medicine for partnering in this important road safety initiative. She noted that the programme marks a significant step towards strengthening emergency response capabilities and enhancing trauma care outcomes for accident victims in Nagaland. At the conclusion of the programme, all 25 participating personnel were presented with certificates of participation.
