This was part of our routine, and today’s drill took place at the CP’s theatre. Mock drills follow a standard procedure, with different types prepared according to specific scenarios. Coordination is observed to assess how effectively teams work together, implementing standard procedures. It’s a practice within the mock drill,” Devesh Kumar said.

“I won’t comment on this specifically, but in general, due to Delhi being the national capital, sensitivity is at its highest. Whether it’s upcoming elections or being the national capital, we consistently monitor places like cafes, hotels, and restaurants for people’s safety. Increased checks have been implemented at borders, and we’ve deployed our petroleum team to ensure a robust security system,” Devesh Kumar Mahla said.
