State Relies On Centre's War Book For War-Like Situations

Maharashtra does not have a plan to manage war and war-like situations; under these circumstances, it is guided by the Union War Book of the central government for civil response, and the National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) prepared by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

MUMBAI: The state, however, does have a Disaster Management Plan to tackle other kinds of emergencies such as natural and nuclear disasters.

At a security review meeting on Friday, CM Devendra Fadnavis directed the state administration to study the Union War Book and disseminate the information to all the authorities concerned. The meeting was held hours before the ceasefire between India and Pakistan was declared.
