Mock drill conducted in over 275 districts

A massive civil defence mock drill was conducted in more than 275 districts across the country on Wednesday. The nationwide operation, involving blackouts, air raid simulations and emergency training, came shortly after the Indian airstrikes on Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. The drill was conducted on the instructions of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, which had asked all states and UTs to organise such exercises in light of the 'new and complex threats' following the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
