This drill, held between 1:05 AM and 4:25 AM on the night of June 27-28, was led by the Central Industrial Security Force and involved multiple agencies.
Reportedly, authorities have emphasized that these exercises are crucial for enhancing the city's security and ensuring a swift and coordinated response in the event of an actual emergency.
