The drill took place across key locations, including the District Centre (Staging area), District Transport Office (Incident site and incident command post), and Jwhwlao Swmbla Basumatary Civil Hospital, ensuring a wide-reaching and realistic simulation of disaster response.
The mock drill involved all responding agencies, including the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Fire & Emergency Services, along with Chirang ADC Arup Choudhury as the Incident Commander and officials from the District Administration.
Approximately 150 participants were involved in the mock drill, highlighting the significant collaboration between various emergency response teams, local authorities, and other stakeholders.
