Delhi Mock Drill: Several areas to witness power cuts, war sirens; Check full list of locations, timings

A major mock drill is scheduled for Wednesday, May 7, in more than 244 districts across India, including all key areas of Delhi. The Ministry of Home Affairs has instructed all states and Union Territories to take part in this exercise after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which took 26 lives, mostly of tourists. The drill is not real but will simulate emergency situations similar to wartime attacks. Its purpose is to test how well people respond, how different agencies work together, and how strong the infrastructure is during a crisis.

This large-scale exercise follows the deadly Pahalgam terror attack and aims to test emergency preparedness. It includes air raid sirens, simulated attacks, blackout drills, evacuation measures, and coordination between civil authorities and the armed forces.

In Delhi alone, the drill will be carried out at more than 55 places, with five locations chosen in each of the city’s 11 districts.
