As India braces for a major nationwide civil defence mock drill on Wednesday (May 7), expected to take place in over 250 districts of the country, a key question on many citizens’ minds is – Will their daily life be disrupted?
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Monday directed all states and union territories to conduct the drills to test and strengthen the country’s preparedness against modern and complex threats.
Will schools, colleges remain closed?
As of now, there is no update on schools and colleges across these districts announcing holidays or conducting online classes.
Civil Defence Districts are demarcated areas or regions, including towns and districts, which the government designates for implementation of civil defence programmes. These are demarcated on the recommendation of the Ministry of Defence. These demarcations are made based on the location of the towns or districts (such as near the borders), vulnerability to attacks, location of vital installations (such as defence installations, nuclear plants, thermal power plants, key government buildings, etc) and critical infrastructure (such as key highways, railways, ports etc.).
