Bomb threats to Delhi schools leave parents anxious, alarmed

Over 45 schools across Delhi received bomb threats via email on Friday, the fourth such threat this week, prompting anxious parents to keep their children home, even as authorities confirmed after thorough checks that all the messages were hoaxes.

While most institutions remained open and operated with caution, the repeated pattern of these threats has led to growing concern among families about their children's safety.

Sovereign School was among those that received one of the threatening emails. The school resumed regular classes following a police inspection.

While schools like Sovereign continued operations after receiving security clearance, others, such as Maxfort Junior School in Pitampura and Cambridge Foundation School in Rajouri Garden, carried out partial evacuations and exercised extra caution with students present on campus.

Delhi Police, along with bomb squads and fire services, conducted inspections at all affected schools.

The threats targeted institutions across multiple areas, including Dwarka, Rohini, Vasant Vihar, Janakpuri, and East of Kailash.
