The Southern Railway executed a full-scale safety mock drill at Kollam Junction on November 15, 2025, in collaboration with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). This initiative aimed to bolster emergency preparedness and inter-departmental coordination. The drill simulated various emergency scenarios, such as train derailments and passenger evacuations. It involved multiple departments, including operating, mechanical, and medical teams, alongside local government agencies like Fire and Rescue Services and Police. The exercise tested the rapid response capabilities of all units, ensuring effective evacuation and medical assistance for mock casualties. Senior officials monitored the operation to ensure adherence to protocols. Such drills are vital for training teams to handle emergencies with precision.
