Key Developments

In June 2022, Humanity & Inclusion (HI), a global humanitarian organization focused on improving the lives of people with disabilities, launched new mine clearance operations in Casamance, Southern Senegal, to enable communities to regain safe access to their villages, schools, and medical facilities. The operations, which will run until March 2023, cover the communes of Kaour and Adéane in the Ziguinchor and Sédhiou regions. HI aims to clear almost 100,000 square meters of land contaminated by mines and other explosive remnants of war, which have prevented people from returning to vital infrastructure and agricultural areas for decades.
In January 2020, India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), a government agency, began developing indigenous mine-clearing devices for the Indian Army's fleet of T-72A and T-90S Bhishma main battle tanks. The Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) approved the prototype testing of the trawl assemblies designed by DRDO, which will provide the Indian Army with a crucial indigenous capability to clear mines and obstacles in front of advancing tank formations.
