NSG conducts mock drills in parts of Amritsar

A team of the National Security Guard (NSG) carried out a mock drill to test their preparedness to tackle any untoward event in the city on Tuesday.

The mock drill, about which the media was not informed, was held on the campus of Guru Nanak Dev University. Punjab police also assisted the NSG.

Last night, a mock drill was held outside Durgiana temple. Sources in the police said people need not panic if blast-like sounds were heard during the drill as the city is preparing for any major terrorist attack.

The exercise also involved the use of fire extinguishers and other hi-tech gadgets. They said such exercises were needed to make the force ready to handle any eventuality.
