Nearly 100 schools in and around India’s capital Delhi were evacuated on Wednesday, February 26, following fake bomb threats delivered by email. Authorities have declared the threats to be a hoax after a search of the schools found nothing suspicious. Police say they have traced the origin of the emails and are now investigating the matter.

Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, the constitutional head of the state, stated that the schools in Delhi and neighboring suburbs that received the bomb threat have been cordoned off. Search operations are being carried out, with dog squads and bomb disposal units working towards ensuring the safety of the students.

The city’s Fire Services department added that they sent fire engines to the schools, but nothing suspicious was found during their search. Delhi’s Education Minister, Atishi, said that the government was in touch with the police and schools and was constantly monitoring the situation.

The threat emails received by the schools were described as a deliberate attempt to create panic and cause chaos. The police have asked people to remain calm and assured them that they are fully prepared to prevent any untoward incident from happening. The federal home ministry and Delhi Police have also urged people not to panic and to cooperate with the authorities in ensuring the safety of schools and the children.

It is worth noting that some hospitals in the capital also received similar letters on Tuesday, as reported by a senior Delhi Police official. The police believe that someone has done this to create panic and that there is no immediate threat to the students or the general public.

While the situation seems to be under control, the incident highlights the need for better security measures in schools and other public places. Such incidents can cause a massive disruption and create unnecessary fear among the public. It is essential to take a more proactive and effective approach towards ensuring the safety and security of our children and the public.Fake Bomb Threats Evacuate Thousands of Students from Schools in Delhi
