The District Magistrate (Central), G. Sudhakar, has urged the public to remain calm and avoid panic during the test.Residents in the area may hear loud sirens, but officials emphasize that it is only a routine drill.

This scheduled testing is part of a broader initiative to ensure the effectiveness of public alert systems in emergency situations. Authorities have requested that adequate publicity be made through social and electronic media to inform the general public and prevent unnecessary confusion or concern.

In parallel, the Delhi Police have heightened security measures throughout the city. Additional police personnel have been deployed at major landmarks and sensitive locations. Bomb disposal squads, along with canine units, are actively conducting security checks in busy marketplaces and public gathering spots. Police officials have also coordinated with market associations and Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) to strengthen local security measures and ensure that CCTV surveillance systems are functioning effectively.

Furthermore, public announcements are being made in densely populated areas, advising citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities immediately. Authorities are also monitoring social media platforms closely to prevent the spread of rumours and misinformation.

This drill follows the nationwide civil defence mock drill, codenamed Operation Abhyaas, conducted on May 7, 2025, across 244 districts in India. Organized by the Ministry of Home Affairs and coordinated by the National Disaster Management Authority, the exercise aimed to bolster civilian readiness against potential hostile threats.
