Earlier bomb threat
Earlier on January 28, thirty schools across the Union Territory of Chandigarh received bomb threat emails, prompting a rapid response from police and emergency services. The threats targeted 22 private schools and eight government schools. Upon receiving the alerts, Anti-Sabotage Teams, Bomb Disposal Squads, local police units, and emergency services, including fire, ambulance, and PCR team,s were deployed to the affected campuses to conduct thorough inspections. After detailed searches, authorities confirmed that no suspicious or explosive materials were found.
Delhi schools bomb threat mails
The recent threats in Chandigarh and Mohali follow a series of bomb threat emails sent to multiple schools in Delhi just a day earlier, which led to evacuations and extensive security checks.
While most bomb threats in Delhi over the past year have proven to be false alarms, schools continue to follow strict safety protocols whenever such warnings are received. In October last year alone, over 200 schools in Delhi received threat emails in a single day, and more than 500 such incidents were reported throughout 2024.
