JAMMU, May 29: The second civil defence mock drill, “Operation Shield,” which was earlier scheduled for May 29 and had to be postponed due to administrative reasons, will now be held on May 31.
The exercise will take place across all western States and Union Territories bordering Pakistan, including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
Organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the drill will test preparedness against enemy attacks through mock air raids, drone threats, blackout measures, and evacuation exercises.
Civil Defence volunteers, local authorities, and youth organisations like NCC and NSS will take part in the operation, which will begin at 5 PM. (KDC)
