Nationwide Civil Defence mock drill conducts in India tomorrow as tensions rise with Pakistan

Following a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir on April 22, which killed 26 Hindu tourists, tensions between India and Pakistan have surged. India has accused Pakistan of involvement, which Islamabad denies. In response, India will hold a nationwide civil defence mock drill on May 7, the first since the 1971 Indo-Pak war. The exercise will cover 244 districts, focusing on air raid sirens, blackout drills, and evacuation exercises to improve civil defence and preparedness.
