In a chilling recurrence, bomb threats via email rattled three Delhi schools on Monday, thrusting the national capital back into high-security protocols. The affected institutions—Army Public School Delhi Cantt, Salwan Public School, and Janakpuri’s Mira Public School—received the threats post 8 AM, triggering a cascade of emergency measures.
Delhi Police, flanked by bomb detection experts and sniffer dogs, converged rapidly alongside fire brigades. Thorough inspections ensued, with surrounding areas barricaded to protect occupants. No hazardous materials were detected, allowing a cautious all-clear, yet the incident underscores ongoing vulnerabilities.
Efforts to identify the email sender are in full swing, building on prior cases like last week’s threats to Dhaula Kuan’s Army Public School and Lodhi Road’s Air Force Bal Bharti School—both proven false after meticulous sweeps.
This series of intimidations has ensnared high-profile sites too, from the Delhi Secretariat and Assembly to the iconic Red Fort. While security apparatus proves resilient, the psychological toll on communities, especially students, is mounting.
Police have issued stern warnings and enhanced monitoring, calling for public cooperation. In the face of these shadowy assaults, Delhi’s resolve hardens, prioritizing unyielding protection for its youngest citizens.
