Delhi Government Issues Dos And Don'ts For Drill To Assess Civil Defence Preparedness

The Delhi government has issued the dos and don'ts to be followed during air-raid warning sirens, blackout and evacuation exercises at the time of Wednesday's civil defence mock drill. Civilians have been advised to familiarise themselves with the sounds of the air-raid siren, including long wails for alerts and short bursts for all-clear, identifying nearest shelter locations such as basements, underground car parks or designated safe zones and keep ready items such as a torch, emergency kit and water bottles, among others.

As part of the nationwide mock drill, Delhi will conduct "Operation Abhyaas" at 55 locations on Wednesday at 4 PM, simulating air raids, fire emergencies, and search-and-rescue operations.
