Jaipur : In view of potential air raids and disaster situations, a mock drill and public awareness program was conducted on Friday in the under-construction building within the Health Bhawan premises. The event was organized jointly by the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and Civil Defence. Around 150 officers and staff members were trained on safety measures to be adopted during such emergencies under the guidance of SDRF Commandant Shri Rajendra Singh Sisodia and supervision of Assistant Commandant Shri Chitragupt Mahawar.
