Polaris India had also come forward to partner with the Uttarakhand government when the state was hit by a catastrophic flood in 2013. Polaris India had then supported with five ATVs for the cause.

“We are present here today to support NDRF. Polaris Off-Road Vehicles are designed especially for off-roading and hence are a necessity for the NDRF in its relief and rescue operations. Polaris India is always willing to extend a hand of support to help accelerate relief operations,” said Dubey.

Polaris India on the occasion showcased its Off-Road Vehicles, Polaris RZR S 800, Sportsman 570 and also an Off-Road Ambulance vehicle, built on a Polaris Range 6×6 800 chassis, with the help of Bafna Healthcare Pvt.
