NEW DELHI: The ministry of home affairs on Monday directed several states to conduct civil defence mock drills on Wednesday, May 7, according to central government sources.
The exercise aims to enhance preparedness in the event of a hostile attack, and will include the following measures:
Activation of air raid warning sirens Training civilians, including students, in basic civil defence techniques Implementation of crash blackout protocols Early-stage camouflaging of critical infrastructure and installations Updating and rehearsing evacuation plans
Earlier on Sunday, Ferozepur Cantonment in Punjab along India-Pakistan border conducted a blackout exercise for 30 minutes in late evening.
These exercises for civilians come in the backdrop of Pakistan-backed terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed 26 innocent lives.
