India is preparing for a large nationwide civil security mock drill on Wednesday (May 7), which is expected to be in more than 250 districts of the country. However, many people will be facing the question whether school-colleges, banks, markets etc. will be open or closed during the mock drill? So far, there has been no update regarding the closure of any service, school or college due to these mock drills from the government. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) directed all states and union territories to practice to test and strengthen the country’s preparations against modern and complex threats.

At present, there is no update about the announcement of holidays or conducting online classes by schools and colleges in these districts. On May 7, banks will be open across the country and will function normally, even if the nationwide civil security mock drill is determined on that day. Although local authorities are engaged in ensuring that the practice is rich without any nervousness or any kind of inconvenience in the public, in some areas, residents may face problems such as traffic jams, temporary shutdown, internet shutdown or blackout. So, take more time to come out.
According to sources, people will be advised to keep cash with them, so that they can keep cash with them in case of obstruction of mobile devices and digital transactions. Sources said that citizens will be asked to keep additional supply, flashlight and candles at home.

Despite the scale of the operation, officials confirmed that daily services, including public transport systems, trains, buses and flights, will continue to run at the scheduled time. Essential services such as hospitals, emergency response teams and utilities will also be fully operational. During the mock drill, air strike warnings, withdrawal rehearsals, blackout protocols and even the activity of the Indian Air Force will be practiced to activate the hotline communication. The exercise will also include crash-blackout measures, prematurely hiding plants and installations and updating withdrawal plans and rehearsing them.
