Regarding this drill, Nuobahar said: “This is a big academic campus of more than 20,000 students and we are keen to enhance capacity and skills of our essential security staff so that any emergency situation can be handled well. The purpose of this mock exercise is to evaluate our capability and to prepare ourselves for managing any disaster state.”
