Navi Mumbai: A mock drill simulating a 'station hijacking and bomb threat' scenario was conducted at Central Park Metro Station on Wednesday to test emergency preparedness and security response mechanisms on Navi Mumbai Metro Line 1. The exercise was carried out in coordination with the Quick Response Team (QRT) of Navi Mumbai Police, local police authorities, CIDCO and Maha Metro officials.
The drill simulated a critical situation involving an unauthorised takeover of the metro station along with a suspected bomb threat within the premises. Following activation of emergency protocols, metro staff and security agencies initiated passenger evacuation, station isolation, crowd management and threat assessment procedures.
Officials said the objective of the exercise was to evaluate and strengthen inter-agency coordination, response efficiency, communication systems and preparedness to handle high-risk security emergencies within metro premises.
During the operation, the QRT team, police personnel and metro staff demonstrated rapid mobilisation and coordinated tactical response measures. Emergency communication systems, access control mechanisms and coordination with medical and disaster response units were also tested as part of the exercise.
