Multiple Delhi Schools Receive Bomb Threats, Prompting Evacuations and Closure
Several schools across Delhi-NCR, including prominent institutions like Delhi Public School (DPS), Amity, and Mother Mary’s, were targeted with bomb threat emails on Wednesday morning. At least eight schools were affected, leading to immediate evacuations and thorough searches by the Delhi Police, bomb disposal squads, and fire services.
The threats, received via email, lacked specific deadlines or individual addressing, indicating a coordinated mass distribution. Investigations suggest that similar emails had been sent to various locations since the previous day.
Affected schools, such as DPS Noida, Vasant Kunj, RK Puram, and Sanskriti, swiftly closed as a precautionary measure, ensuring the safe return of students to their homes. Statements issued by school authorities urged parents to promptly collect their children from the premises.
The gravity of the situation led to the mobilization of specialized units, including bomb detection teams, highlighting the seriousness with which authorities treated the threats. While the search operations continued, the broader community remained on high alert.
These incidents underscored the imperative for robust security measures in educational institutions and prompt response protocols to safeguard students and staff. As investigations proceed, authorities remain vigilant to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents in the region.
