Simulation exercise on May 7: What students and parents need to know
The Ministry of Home Affairs asked several states to conduct simulation exercises on May 7 after a recent terrorist attack in Pahargam after rising tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds a series of high-level meetings with top defense officials to review the country's security preparations.
The main purpose of these simulation exercises is to ensure that both authorities and civilians do better in the event of hostile situations such as air strikes or states of war. However, the announcement has confused students and parents across the country, especially regarding whether schools will remain open on May 7.
Will the school be open tomorrow?
As of now, no official order has been announced for school holidays. There are no announcements about transfers to online courses on the same day. Students and parents are advised to stay calm and stay in touch with school authorities for last minute updates. If any school chooses to remain closed or switch to online courses, they may notify students directly.
Key activities planned for the simulation exercise program on May 7:
The simulation exercise will include several important safety exercises, such as:
Sound of air strike warning sirens
Implement a power outage procedure (such as turning off the lights in important locations)
Camouflage important buildings and installations
Rehearsal of evacuation plans
Training civilians for basic civil defense practices, such as how to cover up in a possible attack
In emergencies, these measures are being taken to raise public awareness and preparation.
Delhi's security tightens
In Delhi, senior police officers have begun arrangements. According to sources, day and night patrols have increased and paramilitary forces have been deployed with the borders of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) is closely monitoring these developments and is meeting with local police, including the ACP and SHO, to enhance coordination and preparation.
Although the situation remains tense, these simulation exercises are preventive measures and are part of the national preparations. Parents and students are encouraged to remain informed and follow only validated information from school authorities or government resources.
