This large-scale exercise will take place across 244 districts, aiming to assess and enhance the country's preparedness for emergency situations, including potential war-like scenarios.
Objectives of the Drill
The primary goal of the mock drill is to evaluate the effectiveness of existing emergency response mechanisms and to train civilians in basic civil defence techniques. The exercise is designed to simulate real-life scenarios to ensure that both authorities and the public are well-prepared to respond effectively during emergencies.
Key Activities During the Drill
- Activation of air raid warning sirens to simulate aerial threats.
- Implementation of blackout procedures to mimic power outages during emergencies.
- Evacuation drills to practice safe and orderly movement of people.
- Training sessions for civilians on protective measures during hostile attacks.
- Testing of communication systems, including hotline and radio links with the Indian Air Force.
- Operational checks of control rooms and shadow control centers.
- Camouflaging of critical infrastructure to prevent detection during potential attacks.
Participation and Coordination
The drill will involve coordination among various agencies, including civil defence wardens, home guards, National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Service Scheme (NSS) volunteers, Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) members, and students from schools and colleges. Local authorities will oversee the execution of the drills in their respective districts.
