Staff at Desun Hospital are participating in a mock drill in Kolkata, India, on May 8, 2025, involving the hospital's rooftop helipad, which is intended to facilitate air-ambulance services. The helipad is enabling hospital staff, doctors, and patients to reach critical care facilities rapidly in case of emergencies, including potential attacks amid rising India-Pakistan tensions. These drills are assessing and improving civil defence preparedness, emphasizing the importance of public awareness and readiness in the face of rising geopolitical tensions following the successful launch of Operation Sindoor, a decisive military strike on Pakistan. Fireworks are lighting up the skies across the nation as citizens rejoice over the retaliation for the tragic Pahalgam attack, where 26 Indian nationals were killed. The operation is targeting nine key sites in Pakistan, hitting terrorist infrastructure.
