The exercise, covering 244 districts, aims to enhance emergency preparedness in light of heightened security concerns following the Pahalgam attack.
According to an official communication from the directorate general of fire services, civil defence and home guards, the mock drills will involve operationalising air-raid warning sirens, cleaning and restoring bunkers and trenches, and training civilians on protective measures during hostile attacks.
