Delhi will conduct a civil defence mock drill at 8 PM, organised by the Directorate of Civil Defence with participation from Delhi Police, Indian Army, and National Disaster Response Force. Residents may hear air raid sirens and must follow blackout protocols as part of preparedness measures. Authorities have urged people to remain calm, follow official instructions, and avoid spreading rumours or creating obstructions. The exercise aims to test emergency response and public readiness. Officials emphasised there is no real threat and the drill is purely precautionary, similar to previous nationwide exercises conducted to strengthen crisis management systems. (PC: HT)
