Civil Defence Mock Drill in States Bordering Pakistan Postponed

Date: May 29, 2025 | Category: National News

New Delhi: The scheduled civil defence mock drill in several Indian states bordering Pakistan has been officially postponed. The drill was part of a routine preparedness initiative by the Ministry of Home Affairs, designed to evaluate emergency response and coordination across border districts.

The states involved in the mock drill included Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Jammu & Kashmir. Originally planned to be held in early June, the drill is now on hold due to “unavoidable administrative circumstances,” a senior official confirmed.

The Ministry has not announced a new date for the exercise, but sources indicate that revised dates may be released in the coming weeks. Authorities emphasized that this is only a postponement and not a cancellation, and that the importance of such drills in maintaining national security remains undiminished.

Why the Drill Matters

Mock drills are essential to ensure that civil defence teams are ready to respond to natural disasters, military threats, or cross-border incidents. These exercises help improve coordination between local authorities, paramilitary forces, and emergency services.

Future Updates

The Home Ministry will issue a new schedule shortly. Citizens and officials in the concerned states are advised to stay alert and follow official channels for updates.
