Thane, May 25: In a proactive measure to evaluate institutional readiness and emergency response times, the Thane Nagar Police Station, in coordination with multiple civic administrations, successfully conducted a comprehensive emergency mock drill today at Court Naka.

The simulated crisis commenced at approximately 12:29 pm following a distress alert routed through the Disaster Management Cell. The scenario involved a severe structural failure where a massive commercial hoarding collapsed adjacent to the Central Maidan, directly opposite the Government Rest House, trapping a civilian underneath.

Multi-agency emergency response

Demonstrating rapid deployment capabilities, key emergency responders converged on the site within minutes. The multi-agency operation was supervised on-site by Regional Disaster Management Officer Mr Tadvi and Senior Police Inspector Bharat Choudhary of the Thane Nagar Police Station.

The tactical response featured synchronised mobilisation from critical city resources, including the Thane Disaster Response Force (TDRF) deploying a specialised transit bus, the Disaster Management Cell utilising an emergency utility vehicle, a Thane Municipal Corporation ambulance, a fire department rescue tender and personnel from the municipal encroachment department.
