Mock Drill : Uttar Pradesh to Hold Statewide Blackout in 75 Districts for Civil Defence Mock Drill Today

Mock Drill : A blackout simulated drill will be held in Uttar Pradesh on January 23, the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. A blackout would be implemented simultaneously in all 75 districts of the state to assess preparedness to deal with an assault by an enemy country during an emergency.

On Wednesday evening, panic broke out at the Lucknow police lines as an explosion, an air raid, and sirens began to blare. People sitting in the park were injured; some suffered brain injuries, while others suffered leg or arm injuries. This was a practice for a mock drill that would be held across Uttar Pradesh on January 23 at 6:00 PM .

Mock drill displays fire breaking out in numerous locations.

The fake simulation showed that the bombing caused fires in several locations, trapped people in towering structures, and one building to collapse. A automobile was on fire, with its doors jammed.

Civil Defence personnel took part in a mock drill.

Civil Defence, Disaster Management, SDRF, and NDRF staff all took part in the mock drill. Civil Defence officers initially offered first aid to those injured in the park, smothered the fire with wet blankets and water, and rescued individuals stuck in towering structures using nets.

The driver was dragged out of the vehicle after shattering the glass. NDRF and SDRF crews also arrived on the area and started rescue operations.

Uttar Pradesh today will conduct a statewide blackout mock drill across all 75 districts at 6:00 PM.

Local governments are urging residents to be calm and avoid unnecessary journeys during the practice, which is solely for testing and awareness-raising purposes.

In the cases of Maharajganj and Sultanpur, district officials first performed their checks and practised the tasks at hand. They also surveyed the locations for the drill and maintained proper communication with the key personnel involved to ensure that the drill ran smoothly and efficiently.

In Maharajganj, senior authorities reviewed crisis management plans at police lines prior to the drill, emphasizing cooperation and public calm. Similarly, authorities in Sultanpur convened inter-departmental meetings to finalize duties for police, health, and emergency services during the fake blackout.
