The drill began around 1.30 am.

“Taking utmost caution, the Amritsar district administration has again started the blackout drill,” said a message shared by the Amritsar District Public Relations Officer.

“Please stay at home, do not panic, do not gather outside your homes and keep the outside lights of your houses switched off,” it said.

The drill was earlier carried out in Amritsar from 10:30 pm to 11 pm.

The nationwide mock drills took place hours after the Indian military targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as part of ‘Operation Sindoor’ launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack. (PTI)
