On August 1, students are informed about the importance of scarves in the world that scarves are not just a piece of clothing but also prove helpful in saving their own and others' lives during natural and human disasters, wars, epidemics.
This information was revealed by Principal Mrs. Sarla Bhatnagar at Veer Haqiqat Rai Model Senior Secondary School, Patiala, during a program organized for the students about the use of scarves. On this occasion, retired Red Cross Training Supervisor Kaka Ram Verma said that by using scarves, it can be used to prevent gases, smoke, heat, mosquitoes and flies from entering your nose and mouth.
While providing first aid to the injured, this scarf can be used as a triangular bandage to immobilize broken limbs, to rescue victims from gases, smoke, water, and debris, and to make a stretcher by tying a scarf with branches, sticks, and sticks. A scarf helps to keep an electrocuted person away from wires or iron objects. A scarf helps to stop the flow of blood as bandages.
