New Delhi: During the war between Russia and Ukraine, the mention of bunkers is also coming repeatedly, how both countries have built bunkers for their people. People are taking shelter in this to escape. Usually, bunkers are built below ground. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also sent his family members to nuclear bunkers in Siberia, which are not affected by a nuclear attack.
A few years ago, in Jammu and Kashmir also, the government had announced the construction of 14,000 bunkers for the general public living near the border. Sporadically bunkers have been built in the border areas of Kashmir in India. The reality is that bunkers are built in every country and are of great use in case of war or attacks.
In Ukraine, there was news of a large number of local people and students taking shelter in the bunker. It is also being said that the President and his family have also kept themselves safe in the bunker.
A hiding place with a military structure is called a bunker. Bunkers are usually found at borders and strategic places. Sometimes bunker-like arrangements are made in the residence of important leaders and heads of state. They work as a barrier and protection of a country from the attack of enemies.
Remain invulnerable to many dangers
Bunkers prove to be effective in dealing with threats like war, natural disasters, chemicals, and radiation. Large-scale bunkers were built in European countries during the First and Second World Wars. In World War II, fighter planes were raining bombs from the sky. Then this bunker became a protective shield.
How are bunkers made? Actually, the bunker is a house built under the ground. Its wall is made of several feet thick concrete or several inches thick iron layer. These are of many different sizes. The bunkers that are built for big leaders and heads of state have all the amenities and enough space to live, but bunkers that can accommodate one or two people are called cuzed.
Bunker overflow in Albania
There is also a country in the world that is full of bunkers. Here bunkers are found step by step. The name of this country is Albania. By the way, there are also bunkers on a large scale in European countries. They are in large numbers in Germany and the Soviet Union. Russia has built very safe and luxury bunkers in Siberia.
Bunkers are built all over the world
This bunker is made not only by India but all over the world. In a way, these bunkers are only temporary homes of soldiers fighting on the border.
How bunkers are made in India
The pre-cast construction methodology is generally used in bunker construction. In the pre-cast technique, concrete is filled between the iron molds above the ground itself. In this way, the walls and roof are prepared in factories and they are fitted under the ground.
While making the bunker, its strength and security are also taken care of. It is also necessary that these walls and ceilings fitted below the ground should be protected from water, insects, and spies while bearing the upper pressure.
Made from pre-cast
There are many advantages of precast construction methodology. The first advantage is that the bunkers made from it are made very quickly. It takes an average of 2 to 3 days to build a bunker in this way. In this way, all these bunkers are expected to be ready within a year.
What facilities are available
A bunker is like a house below the ground. Being below the ground, it is very important for it to be ventilated. Along with this, there is also the facility of electricity, water, food. Army people take food there according to the duration of their stay there.
Most of the bunkers have blast valves for air. These valves act as skylights and automatically close in case of an explosion somewhere nearby. Along with this, there is also an electricity connection and a stove for heating water. These bunkers are being built for the state of emergency in Jammu and Kashmir. That is why along with the safety of the people, care should be taken on basic facilities as well.
How many days do they have the facility to stay?
The bunkers built on the border are at a distance of 1, 2, and 3 kilometers from the border. In case of emergency, one may have to stay there indefinitely. That is why these bunkers are made according to their safety for a long time.
