HYDERABAD, JUNE 21. The second batch of 120 members of Rakshaks and Blue Colts of West Zone, comprising Inspectors, Sub- Inspectors and constables, on Thursday completed the basic first- aid training course to help victims of road accidents.

At a function held at the Apollo Hospitals, the Police Commissioner, Mr. P. Ramulu, gave away certificates and mementoes to the `Life Savers', as they have been named. Mr. Ramulu said he had been receiving enquiries about Blue Colts and Rakshaks from other State police chiefs.

The Joint Commissioner, Capt. C. Ratna Reddy, said the policemen were trained to be courteous to the public. The Deputy Commissioner (West Zone), Mr. Umesh Shraff, said his team would shoulder its new responsibilities.

The Director of Medical Services, Apollo Hospitals, Dr. S.S. Reddy, said they had worked for about a year preparing the groundwork for short-term and long-term courses in trauma care for the `Life Savers'.
