<p>On Thursday, multiple <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/two-delhi-schools-receive-bomb-threats-authorities-evacuate-premises-23584934" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">security agencies</a> conducted mock drills at 10 locations to assess their readiness for any emergency.</p>
<p>Multiple teams from Delhi Police, Delhi Fire Services, National Security Guard, Special Cell and other stakeholder agencies swung into action during the full-scale security exercise.</p>
<p>At Kashmere Gate Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT), the agencies simulated a bomb blast scenario, alerted by a staged emergency call.</p>
<p>Responding swiftly, Delhi Police personnel cordoned off the area, while loudspeaker announcements instructed commuters and staff to vacate the terminal. Police vans and Quick Reaction Teams were rushed to the scene.</p>
<p>The official said that the scenario was designed to test every aspect of emergency response -- from receiving a threat call to identifying and isolating the danger zone, evacuating people, checking for secondary threats and controlling a potential riot-like situation.</p>
<p>Specialised units like the bomb disposal and dog squads carried out anti-sabotage checks at the terminal. <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/college-school-in-delhi-receive-fresh-bomb-threats-via-email-authorities-launch-investigation-23584813" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Metal detectors</a> and hand-held scanners were used to frisk people, while luggage was screened using X-ray baggage scanners. Officials also inspected hotel logbooks in the vicinity to check for any suspicious entries, a standard procedure during real-life anti-terror operations.</p>
