Emergency preparedness took center stage on Wednesday as civil defence mock drills unfolded across three districts: Thane, Palghar, and Raigad. These exercises aimed to evaluate the coordinated response of multiple agencies in the face of simulated war-like and emergency scenarios.
Thane's simulation at Maxi Maidan mimicked an airstrike on a residential building, compelling residents to evacuate to safety. Police, the Civil Defence Force, the Thane Disaster Response Force, among others, swiftly moved into action to ensure public safety and coordination.
In Palghar, close to Tarapur Atomic Power Station, and Raigad's Uran, strategic exercises continued to sharpen the agencies' response capabilities. These drills were instrumental in assessing the efficiency of evacuation, emergency response times, and strengthening inter-agency communication.
