The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has ordered mock drills to be conducted in 244 districts on May 7 to assess effective civil defence.

The central government on Monday announced a nationwide civic defence mock drill on Wednesday in states including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal.

Chandigarh and Shimla will also be a part of the drill.

The development came as security has been tightened in the country following the April 22 terror attack in which 26 people were killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam.

Below is the list:

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
