Formed on MoHA order
AGAINST the backdrop of the recent hostilities between India and Pakistan following the terror attack in Pahalgam, the Kerala state government has constituted a state-level advisory committee on civil defence to oversee preparations for potential emergency situations.
The formation of the committee follows a directive issued by the ministry of home affairs (MoHA) to all states on May 5.
In response to the threat of possible retaliation from Pakistan, civil defence drills have been carried out across the state.
