A fire mock drill took place at the Cyberabad Police Commissionerate to improve emergency response, coordination, and public safety during disasters. The Telangana State Fire Department collaborated on this exercise.
When the fire alarm sounded, the Cyberabad commissioner office staff evacuated quickly and orderly. Fire Marshals led them to the Assembly Point near the National Flag Post. Various teams, like Traffic Police, Cybercrime, SHE Teams, Special Branch, Economic Offences Wing, Bomb Disposal Squad, and CAR Headquarters, were involved. Systems such as fire alarms and the Public Address System were activated, followed by simulated rescues by emergency teams.
