A momentary blackout occurred at Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in Amritsar on Wednesday evening, May 7, as part of a nationwide civil defence mock drill ordered by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The lights were restored shortly after, marking the end of the brief drill. This exercise comes in the wake of rising India-Pakistan tensions following Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan. The operation was a response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives last month in Jammu and Kashmir. Blackout in Delhi: NDMC Enforces 15-Minute Power Cut in India Gate, Connaught Place, and Other Areas During Civil Defence Mock Drill (Watch Videos).
