Major disaster management drill in Delhi-NCR on August 1
On August 1, 2025, Delhi-NCR will run a massive disaster management exercise called Suraksha Chakra.
Teams will practice handling earthquakes and industrial accidents at 55 spots across Delhi and nearby areas in UP and Haryana—think of it as a real-life test to see how everyone responds when things get chaotic.
What to expect during the drill
This isn't just another drill. It brings together the Army, NDRF, police, health workers, and more—all working side by side to level up their teamwork.
The goal? Faster response times and better coordination when real disasters strike.
As NDMA Member Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain put it, it's about making the region truly resilient.
DDMA's CEO Krishan Kumar wants everyone to stay calm if they hear sirens or see emergency vehicles on August 1—it's all part of making sure we're ready for anything.
