Mockdrill On May 7: After the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, the government is planning one of the biggest civil defence mock drills in the country’s recent history. The exercise will take place on May 7 and is meant to test how ready India is to handle a hostile attack through different emergency situations.
This comes just weeks after 26 people, most of them tourists, were killed in a brutal attack in South Kashmir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strongly warned that those responsible “will face punishment beyond their imagination.”
Following the recent developments, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has instructed all states and Union Territories to strengthen their civil defence measures. The Directorate General of Fire Services, Civil Defence and Home Guards has issued a notice highlighting the need to address “new and complex threats” and emphasized the importance of maintaining a high level of preparedness.
Here’s the list of Rajasthan Districts:
