Civil defence mock drills held in Rajasthan to test emergency preparedness
JAIPUR: (May 7) Mock drills were carried out in several cities in Rajasthan following directions from the Union ministry of home affairs to organise such exercises in light of the "new and complex threats" following the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
The drills that started at 4 pm simulated an air strike, an attack on police station, among others, officials said.
At the BSNL office at MI Road in Jaipur, an air strike was simulated. Officials said there was a control room, and fire brigades, civil defence teams, ambulances were rushed to the office. The building was evacuated and traffic on MI Road was blocked to carry out the relief and rescue work.
