As part of this initiative, under the guidance of DGNCC, New Delhi, and Colonel Vinod Joshi, Commanding Officer, 2 Punjab Battalion NCC, Jalandhar, a mock drill was conducted today at Government ITI Mehr Chand, Jalandhar under the leadership of Lieutenant Kuldip Sharma.
Cadets from DAV College and DAVIET College, Jalandhar also participated in this mock drill. Providing information about the exercise, Lieutenant Kuldip Sharma stated that 52 cadets, including college students, received intensive training on how to rescue injured individuals and provide them with first aid during emergencies or wartime situations.
The cadets practiced all types of drills with full seriousness and prepared themselves to handle any adverse situation in the future. He further mentioned that under Operation Shield, the Government of India has declared Jalandhar and other border districts of Punjab as Civil Defense Districts.
Through this mock drill, cadets strengthened their emergency preparedness and contributed to enhancing the Army’s response system. It is worth noting that a similar mock drill was conducted earlier under Operation Abhyaas on May 7 during Operation Sindoor, with support of NCC cadets.
