Impressive Horse, Canine and Fire Safety Demonstrations at TTD Independence Day Celebrations

The horse, canine and fire safety demonstrations organised during the 80th Independence Day celebrations at the TTD Administrative Building in Tirupati on Saturday were a major attraction.

NCC Cadets Showcase Equestrian Skills

Under the guidance of Colonel Anoop Menon, NCC cadets performed impressive equestrian stunts with six horses—Good Luck, Roman Flame, Gagan, Rani, Tej and Glory.

The cadets first displayed the National Flag, NCC Flag and TTD Flag, followed by demonstrations including tent pegging, show jumping and Indian file. Their well-coordinated performances on horseback around the parade ground were widely appreciated.

TTD Canine Squad Impresses

The TTD Vigilance and Security wing presented an impressive canine demonstration featuring Virat, Beauty, Faini, Rani, Siri, Jyola and Bindu.

The dogs demonstrated various skills, including greeting TTD Chairman Sri B.R. Naidu with a bouquet and guard of honour, group drill, detection of explosives and narcotics, silent drill, fire jump, protection of articles and identification and interception of fleeing suspects.

Firefighters Create Awareness

Under the guidance of ADFO Sri Anil Kumar, TTD fire personnel conducted demonstrations on fire prevention and safety.

They explained how to control fires caused by solid, liquid and gas fuels, precautions to be taken in case of a cooking-gas cylinder fire at home, and the proper use of fire-fighting equipment.

The unveiling of a colourful National Flag, symbolising national unity and patriotism, was another highlight of the celebrations.
