Delhi holds civil defense drills citywide including Taj Palace Hotel
India
Delhi just held major civil defense drills across all 13 districts, running practice emergencies in places like malls, schools, and hospitals.
Even high-profile spots such as the Taj Palace Hotel got involved.
The idea? Make sure everyone, from first responders to regular folks, knows what to do if disaster strikes.
Civil Defense Directorate stresses interagency coordination
According to the Directorate of Civil Defense, these exercises are all about getting different agencies to work together smoothly and helping the public stay prepared.
It's part of a bigger push for citywide readiness, tested by earlier drills like "Operation Shield" that tested emergency responses in sensitive border states.
