ADC (D) Sukhpreet Singh Sidhu said coordinated steps were being taken to prepare members of various departments concerned with crisis management.

The initiative was taken keeping in view the need for capacity building among each government official for dealing with any adverse situation following the ongoing tension between the two countries.

Besides organising mock drills, staff of Health Department, Fire Department, Punjab State Power Corporation Limited and civil administration were given tips on proactive, preventive and rescue procedures to be adopted in case of any untoward incident.
