The correct answer is B) If a decomposed body is found, it should be quickly disposed of. This is incorrect and goes against standard disaster management and humanitarian protocols.
– During natural disasters, the role of forces like CISF includes search and rescue operations and assisting the civil administration.
– Handling of dead bodies found at a disaster site involves specific procedures: recovery, documentation, preservation of potential evidence (like ornaments, identification), and handing over to designated authorities (police, medical teams, forensic experts) for identification, post-mortem (if necessary), and dignified final disposal.
– Quick disposal of a decomposed body by security forces alone is not a recognised or acceptable protocol; it requires proper handling, investigation, and coordination with medical and police authorities for identification and health safety reasons.
– Options A, C, and D represent standard and appropriate roles for a force involved in disaster relief: searching for missing persons, recovering bodies, preserving belongings for identification, and handing over bodies and evidence to police or other relevant authorities.
