In a significant move to evaluate emergency response capabilities, Chhattisgarh's Durg district carried out civil mock drills on Wednesday. These exercises were designed to test the coordinated efforts of various agencies in real-time emergency scenarios.

The drills commenced at 4 pm, triggered by a red alert siren. Citizens were instructed to lie prostrate on roads, cover their ears, and use a cloth to cover their mouths, while those in vehicles were required to step out and secure their cars by turning off their lights.

The extensive drills spanned several key locations, including the bustling areas of BSP Sector, Surya Mall, and Durg city. Participation from a wide array of agencies like NDRF, SDRF, CISF, and local law enforcement ensured a comprehensive assessment of readiness in crisis situations.
