Amid ongoing tensions with Pakistan, a civil defence mock drill is set to be conducted in 4 states bordering Pakistan, along with Haryana on May 29, Thursday.
The states to have drills include Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana and some parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The announcment of the drills come in the wake of India’s Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Earlier this month, mock drills were performed across the country under ‘Operation Abhyaas’. Mock drills simulating multiple hostile scenarios like air raids, fire emergencies, and search and rescue operations among others, were carried out in several states and Union Territories (UTs). It came as the first national-level civil defence preparedness activity since the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
