2 Delhi Schools Receive Bomb Threats, Bomb Disposal Squad Rushed At Spot

New Delhi: The Navy School in Chanakyapuri and the CRPF School in Dwarka Sector 16 have received bomb threats via mail on Monday morning at around 8 am. The bomb disposal squad was rushed to the spot. Delhi police officials have begun an investigation into the matter. As per sources, no suspicious material has been found yet. 
 

After receiving the threat, Delhi Police began a search on the premises of both schools. Students, along with the teaching and administration staff of the school, were immediately evacuated outside the premises. Initial search has indicated that no threat or suspicious matter has been found on the ground. However, police have increased vigilance in and around the area.  

This is not the first time schools in the National Capital have received hoax bomb threats. Earlier, in February, a private school and a Delhi University (DU) college also received similar emails. Acting on the repeated incidents, the Directorate of Education (DoE) issued a 115-point Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in May earlier this year to address the bomb threats in Delhi schools. The SOP directed schools to conduct regular mock drills, install surveillance, and also ordered the heads of schools to set up an emergency response team along with police and disaster services. The directive asserted that no threats should be treated as a hoax and requested authorities to put safety checks in place in such cases, without creating panic.
