The mock drills are to begin countrywide on May 7, 2025, and likely to continue till May 9,2025. Around 4 lakh volunteers associated with the Directorate General, Civil Defence, under the MHA will be roped in for the drill. The Ministry of Home Affairs had asked all States to conduct mock drills on Wednesday, given the "new and complex threats" that have emerged amid rising tensions with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. The drills involve operationalising air-raid warning signs, evacuation plans, and training civilians on the aspects of civil defence measures in the event of a “hostile attack.” States have been asked to activate control rooms, firefighting and warden services and undertake cleaning of bunkers and trenches among others. Bunkers are prevalent in border villages, mostly in Jammu and Kashmir, to shield civilians from cross-border firing. For the last ten days, Pakistani Army has indulged in unprovoked firing posts across the Line of Control, and the Indian Army responded promptly and proportionately. Thank you for watching our video!
