In response to rising cross-border threats from Pakistan, including drone and missile incursions, India's Ministry of Home Affairs has instructed all states and Union Territories to activate emergency provisions under the Civil Defence Rules, 1968. This directive empowers local administrations to implement strategic measures like blackouts, evacuations, and public safety drills. The move is aimed at enhancing national readiness, securing vital infrastructure, and ensuring rapid response to any hostile actions.
