The main focus of this drill was to practice the preparations for handling biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological (CBRN) disasters. This drill was conducted through a "mock drill" or "tabletop exercise," which allowed all agencies to establish coordination and respond effectively in emergency situations.

Utmost safety and facilities
Such drills provide training to all the present officers and members, enabling them to effectively deal with any kind of disaster in the future. This will ensure that the pilgrims attending the Maha Kumbh 2025 will be provided with the utmost safety and facilities.

Meanwhile, ahead of the event, the first gaming zone of North Central Railway will be started near platform 6 at Prayagraj Junction.
