The National Security Guard (NSG) orchestrated a high-stakes mock drill on Friday to assess the security measures of the Parliament building. Elite NSG commandos and helicopters played a pivotal role. A security lapse last December resulted in two individuals trespassing and discharging smoke bombs inside the complex, causing widespread panic and confusion.

Last Year's Security Breach at Parliament Recalled
On a day commemorating a past terrorist attack, two individuals managed to evade security checks using visitor passes. They accessed the political nerve center by leaping from the visitors' gallery amidst the proceedings. Concealed smoke bombs discharged from their footwear enshrouded the scene in chaos. Identified as Sagar Sharma from Lucknow and Manoranjan D from Mysore, these youths had gained entry through a recommendation from BJP MP Pratap Simha.
