The district administration has advised the general public not to panic amid the exercise and to remain calm.

On Thursday night, Pakistan attempted to engage military targets in northern and western parts of the country, however, the bids were foiled by the prompt response from the country’s defence systems.

On Wednesday, the administration in Delhi had conducted civil defence mock drills and blackouts across several places in the city amid tensions between India and Pakistan following the response given by the country after the Pahalgam terror attack.

India inflicted damage to the terror launch pads with precision attacks as part of ‘Operation Sindoor’ as a step to deliver justice to those killed in the Pahalgam attack.
