Massive Mock Security Drills in Delhi

Amid heightened tensions post-Pahalgam attack, Delhi launches 55-site security drills. Involving over 3,200 personnel, these strategic exercises are essential for testing the capital's readiness against complex threats.

Delhi to witness security drills citywide Wednesday

Delhi's comprehensive security drills across 55 sites aim to test preparedness against emerging threats, following recent military actions. Involving over 3,200 personnel, these simulations are crucial for evaluating response efficacy.

Authorities in Delhi will carry out mock security drills at 55 locations on Wednesday, including Connaught Place, Khan Market, and Chandni Chowk, to check the preparedness of security agencies.
The drills come in the aftermath of 'Operation Sindoor' carried out by the Indian armed forces early Wednesday.
Retaliating against the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces on early Wednesday carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba's base in Muridke. The military strikes were conducted under 'Operation Sindoor' two weeks after the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.
Officials said that the authorities are fully geared up to conduct mock drills.
"The drills will be conducted at 4 pm at 55 locations - five in each revenue district. We have held meetings with stakeholders over their conduct," he added.
The drills will simulate multiple hostile scenarios like air raids, multiple fire emergencies, and search and rescue operations, among others. Sirens will be sounded by police teams across the 15 police districts in the city as part of the exercise.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has asked all states to conduct the mock drills due to the "new and complex threats" that have emerged amid rising tensions with Pakistan.
On Tuesday, the Delhi Police stepped up security measures and raised barricades at key spots, including Connaught Place and the areas near Parliament.
The officer said around 2,000 civil defence volunteers and 1,200 'Aapda Mitras', trained in disaster response, will be part of the drills on Wednesday.

As per the directive of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, Civil Defence mock drills will be conducted in 14 districts of Kerala on May 7, official sources said.
The mock drills, being held in response to the &ldquo;new and complex threats&rdquo; that have emerged amid rising tensions with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, will begin at 4 pm.
As part of the mock drill, various aspects of Civil Defence preparedness will be assessed.
State Chief Secretary A Jayathilak has instructed all District Collectors and other officials to ensure the proper execution of the mock drill.
He also stated that the public, institutions, and organisations should cooperate with the exercise, remain alert, and that there is no need for concern.
Preparations for the Civil Defence mock drill were discussed on Tuesday in a meeting convened by the Chief Secretary.
The meeting was attended by the Additional Chief Secretaries of the Home, Revenue, and Health &amp; Family Welfare Departments, the State Police Chief, the Director General of Fire and Rescue Services, the Special Secretary and Commissioner of Disaster Management, District Collectors, and other top officials.

Volunteers in each area will assist those who may require help during the blackout. People are advised to stay indoors and follow the instructions given by drill wardens.
Remaining calm and alert is important throughout the exercise.
During the drill, all lights in homes, offices, and public places must be switched off. If emergency lights are used, windows should be covered with thick curtains or cardboard to prevent light from escaping.
People should avoid using mobile phones or any light-emitting devices near windows. Households should be prepared with torches, glow sticks, radios, drinking water, dry food, and essential medicines.
At 4 pm, when the siren sounds, everyone should move to the safest part of their home. Families are encouraged to carry out a 'family drill' together.
A long siren indicates a warning, while a short siren signals that it is safe. People who are outdoors should move indoors promptly.

India Ramps Up Civil Defence Amid Tensions

In response to increasing tensions with Pakistan, India is enhancing its civil defence measures. A massive drill on May 7 will test the nation’s readiness to handle potential threats, simulating emergency and hostile scenarios to strengthen national resilience.

19 top priority sites marked for mock drill by MHA

India enhances civil defence amid Pakistan tensions, scheduling a nationwide drill on May 7 to test readiness against potential hostile attacks.

In response to escalating tensions with Pakistan following the deadly April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, the Indian government is intensifying its civil defence preparedness across the nation.
Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan chaired a crucial review meeting on Tuesday via video conferencing with chief secretaries from states and Union Territories (UTs) to finalise plans for a massive national civil defence mock drill scheduled for May 7.
The meeting saw participation from chief secretaries, civil defence heads, and officials from key Central forces, including Directors General of Civil Defence and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). During the discussions, officials identified critical "loopholes" in the existing defence mechanisms.
"We reviewed preparedness and have pinpointed areas needing improvement," a senior National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) official disclosed to TNIE.
An advisory was issued on Monday by the Ministry of Home Affairs urging all states and UTs to conduct coordinated civil defence exercises. These drills will encompass all of India's 244 designated civil defence districts, many of which are perceived as vulnerable to potential threats, including wartime scenarios.
Of the 244 sites, 19 have been prioritized for the upcoming drill on Wednesday, sources revealed.
The exercise aims to assess and bolster the civil defence machinery's readiness against potential hostile attacks or emergencies. Simulating a war-like situation, the drill will include operationalizing air raid warning systems, activating sirens, and coordinating responses from local emergency services.
"The goal is to ensure that the nation and its administrative structures are prepared for any contingencies arising from a hostile environment. This civil defence drill, the first in decades, will concurrently test infrastructure and human response across various regions," an official stated.
This will be the first national-level civil defence exercise since 1971, with no such drills conducted even during the 1999 Kargil conflict (Operation Vijay).
Officials emphasize the necessity of public cooperation, with local authorities expected to issue detailed guidelines on how residents in vulnerable zones should react during the drill. State disaster response forces, health departments, local police, and district administrations will actively partake in the exercise.
The drill's backdrop&mdash;growing tension on the western border&mdash;magnifies its urgency. The April 22 attack in Pahalgam, which killed several security personnel and civilians, has heightened fears of cross-border terrorism and potential escalations.
Although the government has not explicitly linked the mock drill to the current geopolitical climate, its timing has attracted attention from analysts and defence observers.
"This is a definitive statement that India is not underestimating any threat. While formally a routine preparedness measure, the drill's timing and scale are clearly influenced by the worsening regional security climate," noted a senior retired military officer.
As India prepares for the May 7 drill, authorities are urging citizens to remain calm, stressing that the exercises are precautionary and aim to enhance national resilience.
Key Features of the Proposed Exercise:
- Operationalization of air raid warning sirens - Activation of hotline and radio communication links with the Indian Air Force - Establishment and manning of control and shadow control rooms - Civil defence training for civilians, including students, in attack scenarios - Activation of civil defence services, including wardens, firefighting, and rescue services - Implementation of blackout measures - Early camouflage of vital installations - Updating and rehearsing civil defence plans - Updating and rehearsing evacuation plans - Cleaning of bunkers, trenches, and related facilities
