The mock drill witnessed the active participation of the Bar Association, police, Revenue department, KSISF, fire, health  and other key departments, along with non-governmental organisations like the Red Cross, NSS and NCC. “Everyone came together for one demonstration involving a bomb scenario, an air explosive scenario, and a rescue and evacuation scenario. These scenarios were carried out very well, in cooperation with the local public as well as the High Court staff”, the DC said.

“This projected the strength of all 12 departments working in coordination during any situation where we must act together as part of the district administration against external forces or any threatening situation. This demonstration has been very successful. We thank the High Court and all the departments for their seamless cooperation in putting up a very, very good show during the mock drill”, Taranum added. (ANI)
