Multiple Delhi schools receive bomb threats, search ops on
Authorities said all safety protocols are in place and no suspicious objects have been found so far.
Delhi police initiated security checks at multiple schools on Monday following bomb threats received. Authorities stated that no suspicious objects were discovered so far and all safety protocols were observed, as reported by ANI. This incident occurred shortly after a similar hoax threat email targeted Gurugram's deputy commissioner office, district courts, and several schools, leading to evacuations and extensive searches by bomb disposal and dog units.
The email, which also claimed targeted attacks at specific times, was later declared a hoax after no suspicious items were found, though an ongoing investigation seeks to determine its origin. Meanwhile, Delhi's Child Protection Month initiative uncovered safety deficiencies in 774 schools during a city-wide inspection. Private schools faced the highest number of issues, with 463 private and 270 government schools found lacking, according to a statement from Lok Nivas.
The inspection, conducted between July 13-24 using a standardized safety checklist, involved government, government-aided, MCD, NDMC, Delhi Cantonment Board, and private schools. Of the 1,677 schools checked, 790 were government, 812 private, and 75 government-aided institutions. Deficient schools are now under corrective follow-up, and the inspection will persist until all 5,633 schools in Delhi are examined.
