State health authorities have instructed hospitals in Haryana to activate emergency protocols in anticipation of the Diwali celebrations. The directive aims to ensure that medical facilities can respond swiftly to any incidents that may arise during the festival period, such as fire accidents, traffic collisions or mass gatherings. Hospital administrators are reviewing disaster‑management plans, stockpiling essential supplies, and confirming that ambulance services are on standby.
