  • Hundreds of personnel from NDMA, DDMA, the Indian Army, NDRF, Delhi Police, NGOs and resident welfare associations participated in coordinated rescue, evacuation and medical response exercises
  • Emergency vehicles, sirens and public address systems were activated while temporary command posts, staging areas, relief camps and medical aid stations replicated real disaster conditions
