Exercise Raahat:
The Indian Army and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) conducted Exercise Raahat—a large-scale joint humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) simulation. The drill, held in Assam, was aimed at improving coordination between civil and military agencies during natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, especially in vulnerable northeastern regions.Exercise Raahat was conducted recently as a full-scale disaster simulation involving real-time deployment of troops, medical units, and rescue teams across a simulated flood-hit scenario. The exercise comes in the wake of growing climate-induced disasters and is seen as a benchmark effort to boost India’s preparedness and inter-agency synergy in HADR operations.
