According to the orders, the mock drill is being conducted on the directives of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

Earlier, Punjab had not followed the MHA’s orders to conduct a mock drill on May 29, citing training issues with the civil defence staff. However, the state government has now agreed to comply with the MHA’s orders and conduct the drill. The exercise will include safety measures during a simulated air raid.

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).
