Jharkhand staged mock drills across five districts as part of a nationwide civil defence initiative, 'Operation Abhyaas', coinciding with India's military strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The drills aimed at enhancing emergency responses to new threats, following a deadly attack in Pahalgam.
The three-hour exercises took place in Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Bokaro, Godda, and Sahibganj, coordinated with civil defense teams. Authorities simulated hostile scenarios like air raids and coordinated traffic diversions and scheduled blackouts to facilitate the simulation and ensure public safety.
Officials stressed the importance of such drills in preparing the region for potential emergencies. Ranchi Deputy Commissioner Manjunath Bhajantri emphasized these exercises are crucial for public safety and infrastructure resilience. Meanwhile, military actions under 'Operation Sindoor' targeted terror camps in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack.
