Amid heightened tensions following India's precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, civil defence mock drills were held across 244 districts in India on May 7. The nationwide exercise, led by the Ministry of Home Affairs, aimed to prepare civilians for emergency scenarios, including air raids. Activities included blackout drills, air raid siren tests, and evacuation rehearsals. Key locations like IGI Airport, Khan Market in Delhi, and Cross Maidan in Mumbai saw active participation from SDRF, police, and civil defence teams. However, drills in Jammu and Kashmir were called off due to the sensitive security situation. (PC: News18)
