The Haryana Government on Wednesday conducted its first state-level flood mock drill simultaneously across 13 flood-prone districts to strengthen disaster preparedness and emergency response systems ahead of the monsoon season.

The exercise, coordinated with the National Disaster Management Authority, was aimed at drawing lessons from the floods witnessed in 2023 and 2025 and reinforcing the state's preparedness-based disaster management framework.

Financial Commissioner, Revenue and Disaster Management, Dr Sumita Misra, led the entire exercise from the State Control Room in her capacity as State Incident Commander.

The mock drill was conducted in Gurugram, Ambala, Faridabad, Fatehabad, Kaithal, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Panchkula, Panipat, Palwal, Sirsa, Sonepat and Yamunanagar, all identified as high flood-risk districts.
