    Though it is nice to hear and see a demonstration of mock drill to a group of students, a real worth of such mock drill would emanate only when a realistic scenario is created for mock drill. In such circumstances the response time of various agencies that respond to the situation becomes critical and becomes an eyeopener for those agencies and others in the society the real worth of disaster/crisis management.

    Stage managed shows like the above described mock drill will serve no purpose other than enertaining a group of students and will have no socital values. I hope Agencies will real life like situation in future for conducting mock drill and for better preparedness.
