What is Mockdrill?

A  mock drill is a simulated emergency exercise designed to train individuals and assess how well people, systems, and procedures respond to a crisis situation without the presence of a real emergency.

Purpose of Mockdrill-:

  1. These drills simulate war-like conditions to evaluate response strategies, coordination, and resilience in high-pressure situations.
  2. Train civilians, government agencies, hospitals, and local authorities to respond to potential attacks 
  3. Educate the public on safety protocols and boost confidence in national preparedness.
  4. Reveal weaknesses in defence, evacuation, or medical response plans so they can be corrected before a real conflict arises.

The Government of India has scheduled a nationwide Civil Defence Mock Drill on 7 May 2025, encompassing 244 districts across the country. This initiative aims to assess and enhance emergency preparedness amid escalating tensions following the recent Pahalgam terror attack.

Each district has been categorised based on priority levels:

Category I: High-priority areas with strategic significance.

Category II: Medium-priority regions.

Category III: Low-priority zones.
