**Bhopal Rural Police Conduct Mock Drills to Ensure Festival Preparedness**
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): In a proactive move ahead of the upcoming festival season, the Bhopal Rural Police organized mock drills on Sunday in Itkhedi and Berasia areas to enhance preparedness and coordination.
The exercises were conducted under the direction of Superintendent of Police Ramsharan Prajapati and the guidance of Additional SP Neeraj Chaurasia.
At the Acharpura outpost within the Itkhedi police station jurisdiction, the drill simulated a farmers’ protest demanding higher compensation for crop loss caused by heavy rains. During the simulation, protesters raised slogans against the government. Despite efforts by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) to pacify the crowd, tensions escalated, leading to police intervention.
The drill showcased various crowd control measures including tear gas deployment, baton charges, and controlled firing. Two protesters and two policemen were reportedly injured during the exercise and were immediately provided medical aid via ambulance. Following the intervention, the police successfully dispersed the crowd and restored order.
Simultaneously, another mock drill was held at the Berasia police station premises, overseen by the Sub-Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP), Berasia, Sarvapriya Sinha, with active participation from local police station in-charges.
In total, 118 police officers and personnel took part in these drills, aiming to strengthen their readiness and ensure effective security management during the festive period.
These exercises reflect the Bhopal Rural Police’s commitment to maintaining law and order and safeguarding the community during large gatherings and events.
