Lekhwiya’s pavilion showcased the equipment used for search and rescue operations and latest diving devices used for rescue operations in water. Rescue cylinders used for breathing while surrounded by harmful chemical leaking and earthquake sensors were some of the devices displayed in the pavilion. Awareness films were also shown for educational purposes.
Metro Project developments, on the other hand, were screened in the Qatar Rail pavilion. The project works in progress were in line with the guidelines and terms of security sectors, including civil defence.
