Close to 300 "civil defence districts" with sensitive installations like nuclear plants, military bases, refineries, and hydroelectric dams will be covered by mock drills on air-raid warning sirens, civilian training for a "hostile attack" and cleaning of bunkers and trenches.

How to conduct the mock exercise with active public participation of people was discussed threadbare at a high-level meeting chaired by Union home secretary Govind Mohan. Top civil and police officers of the country participated in the meeting, official sources said.
