The tools, worth Rs 2.69 crore, include advanced gear like jet skis, rescue boats, surfboards, rescue tubes and gear for lifeguards. Civic officials said the safety gear would reinforce the strength of the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) towards beach safety measures.
The fire brigade mans six beaches, many of which are frequented during the rains and often at high-tide time. With people entering the sea at such time, they often get swept away into the water.
According to the proposal, the BMC will buy six semi-inflatable rescue boats worth Rs 16 lakh each and seven jet skis worth Rs 16.74 lakh each. It will also procure equipment like jet ski operator helmets (18), spine boards (9), rescue boards/surf boards (9), rescue tubes (18), beach chairs for lifeguards (7), nylon ropes (18), buoys (18), life support kits (9), life jackets (27) and rechargeable torches (9). The proposal will be tabled before the civic standing committee for approval on Tuesday.
BMC data shows there were 14 drowning deaths last year. The figures were 19 and 20 for 2012 and 2011. Last week, BJP group leader Dilip Patel raised concerns over the unsafe shoreline saying there is a dearth of safety gear.
