The government on Thursday conducted a test of its "emergency alert system" by sending a sample message to several smartphone users. A loud beep and a flash with the words 'emergency alert: severe' were received by users across the country. The flash message was sent around 1.35 p.m. on all Android phones through the Cell Broadcasting System by the Department of Telecommunication (C-DOT).
