Security Drills To Be Held At 244 Locations As India-Pakistan Tensions Spiral

As tensions between India and Pakistan rise, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has ordered mock drills in 244 districts nationwide for “effective civil defence on May 7”. The central government announced that a nationwide civil defence mock drill will occur tomorrow, Wednesday, in states including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal.

This action follows heightened security measures after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people.
