An NDRF Battalion is not located in Himachal Pradesh.

As of current information, the 12 battalions of NDRF are strategically located in various states for quick response. The locations include Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh (two battalions), Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, and Arunachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh is not one of the states hosting a primary NDRF battalion headquarters.

NDRF battalions are based on personnel drawn from other CAPFs and are deployed in locations based on vulnerability profiles and logistical considerations to cover different regions of the country effectively during disasters. While Himachal Pradesh is prone to disasters, it does not host an NDRF battalion itself, though battalions from neighbouring states would cover it.
