💨 Abstract

On May 7, Punjab and Chandigarh conducted nationwide mega civil defense exercises, including mock drills and blackout rehearsals, in response to rising tensions with Pakistan. These drills, ordered by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, simulated emergencies like fires and rescue operations in cities such as Ferozepur, Ludhiana, and Mohali. Air raid sirens sounded, and electricity was briefly cut in designated areas.
