Amid tensions with Pakistan, the Indian government has asked many states to conduct mock drills on May 7. This is being done to ensure the safety of people in a war situation, during this mock drill, people will be trained to protect themselves. This is happening in India after 54 years, such a mock drill was held in 1971, when there was a war between India and Pakistan.
According to reports, a blackout practice was conducted in the Ferozepur Cantonment area of Punjab on Thursday and Monday night. During this time, electricity was cut off in villages and neighborhoods from 9 pm to 9:30 pm.
It is noteworthy that this preparation is taking place in India when tensions with Pakistan are continuously increasing after 26 people were killed in a major terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22.
