Civil defence mock drills in 244 districts tomorrow: Check full list

The decision comes after a series of top-level discussions led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi to plan India's response to the April 22 terror attack.

The government has announced that a nationwide civil defence mock drill will be held on Wednesday, May 7, across 244 districts of the country.

 

This move comes amid growing tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which killed 26 people.

 

The Ministry of Home Affairs said the drill will help check preparedness for emergencies, especially in the current geopolitical situation. The exercise will take place in several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, as well as border states like Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, and Gujarat.  Read OPERATION SINDOOR Latest Updates Here LIVE
