Mock Drill Preparation
How is this mockdrill already being prepared and after all if there is another place more important than Jammu Kashmir right now? It’s India’s capital city New Delhi. As tension escalates between India and Pakistan, the Indian authorities have asked the states and union territories to prepare for a mock drill on 7th May. The mock drill will focus on the air rate siren alert in the significant places around 244 districts across the country. Subsequently mass evacuation of the people which will be helped by the SDRF, the NDRF, the civil defence, the volunteers, the NCC, the scout and guide. uh being as a war correspondent as I have seen in Ukraine, I have seen in in Israel, in Lebanon, the the countries which have often uh fought the war, there are particular air riert system in that case these countries have made already bunkers and if there are no existence of these bunkers, they use the shelters the moment they hear this air siren. So here during the mock drill practice it will be focused how the air siren system works right immediately the air force the radars they detect hostile projectile coming towards your nation. The air siren will immediately alert the authorities and the administration the first priority will be to evacuate people to the safer side now what happens in a country where there is a often threat of the projectiles coming as we see the How this firing long ballistic missiles in Israel earlier it was Hamas used to fire short range rockets rockets in southern rockets and sometime also targeting the central Tel. Here in India since we do not a war nation there are no such bunkers are made but there are natural as the experts say who are who understand the structure who say that there are structures which can work as a natural shape of bunker.
So the moment there is a air siren raid what is advised by the expert is you hear this raid immediately run towards the shelter not exactly in the open area because whenever there is explosion takes place of the rocket the sharpness could hurt. So what is advised is to go as deep as possible in such covers like in a concrete wall which are extremely thick and totally cornered and covered in that case that can minimize the impact of the explosion of the rocket attack. So when you hear these siren raids, what happens in many countries, the people immediately run to the subways because right after the air sire. You barely get a few seconds and that’s a alarm and immediately when the evacuation orders what happens in these country that people immediately rush to these subways or the basement. These areas can also be potentially helpful during the mock drills. If there is an air attack, if there is a projectiles coming in, rocket attack or the fighter just targeting the installations. The people can also as it happens in many countries, the people can also take shelter in these subways because they extremely strong and as we see the you know the lacks of the ton of the weight passing through over it. These areas also work as a safe center. So there are advices being given by the experts that since we do not have a bunkers made for or ready for such kind of uh target or the conflict escalating. We have certain structures which are potentially helpful to minimize the threat of being after the aerial attack after the projectile strike after the rocket attack or the missile attack which can help a large number of the civilians to save from the deadly attack. Since we do have these kind of structures that could be helpful during these kind of escalation.
