The District Administration of South Andaman, in collaboration with Civil Defence Forces and Emergency Support Functionaries of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, will conduct a Civil Defence Exercise on May 7, 2025, at 4:00 PM. The drill aims to assess and enhance the region’s civil defence preparedness and response capabilities.
Authorities have emphasized that this is a pre-planned mock exercise, and there is no real threat to public safety. Residents and business establishments across South Andaman are advised to remain calm and continue with their daily activities as usual.
