Two simulated air strikes part of civil defence drill

CHENNAI: Amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following air strikes on terror camps across the border, civil defence drills were conducted at the Madras Atomic Power Station in Kalpakkam and the Chennai Port on Wednesday.

The Chennai Port Authority held a large-scale mock drill simulating an air raid on critical port infrastructure. The hour-long exercise, conducted from 4 pm to 5 pm under the supervision of the Ministry of Home Affairs, was part of a nationwide initiative to assess readiness for aerial threats.
