Officials said the drill was conducted from 11.00 am to 11.30 am.

Ravinder Kumar, building manager and DGM of Urbana Business Park, said Abante Integrated Management Services organised the mock drill to raise awareness among employees about emergency disaster response.

“Around 3,000 employees participated in the drill. Siren sounds blared across multiple floors of the high-rise buildings during a test run of the emergency alert system,” Kumar added.

Emergency responders conducted a demonstration session of firefighting equipment, including the use of fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and evacuation procedures. “The demonstration also highlighted the importance of staying calm and following designated escape routes during an emergency,” Kumar said.

Employees gathered in the common area outside towers A, B, and C after they heard the alarms. The runway was cleared for ambulances and fire brigades, and a simulation exercise carrying casualties and injured persons on stretchers was also conducted, officials said.
