Delhi: 3 Schools In Dwarka Get Bomb Threat, Search Ops Underway

The latest threat comes days after more than 20 schools in the national capital received bomb threat emails.

Three schools in Delhi's Dwarka on Monday received a bomb threat, prompting authorities to evacuate the school premises as a precautionary measure. The three schools included Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka, Modern Convent School, Sector-4, and ShreeRam World School in Sector 10, Dwarka. 

Delhi Police sid the bomb threat was received through a Gmail ID. P

Last month, more than 20 schools in the national capital received bomb threat. These schools included Richmondd Global School in Paschim Vihar, St Xavier’s in Civil Lines, St. Thomas School in Dwarka, GD Goenka School in Dwarka, Dwarka International School, and Abhinav Public School in Rohini Sector 3. The schools reported receiving emails warning of explosives on their premises. 

Schools immediately alerted the authorities, following which teams from the fire department, bomb disposal squad, and the Delhi Police, rushed to the spots to conduct searches. The schools were evacuated and extensive search operations were carried out as a precaution.

"Richmondd Global School in Paschim Vihar area of Delhi received a bomb threat. The fire department and Delhi Police are on the spot," a Delhi Fire Service official said.

Threats were also reported at St Stephen’s College and St Thomas School in Dwarka last month in July. Nearly seven schools were targeted on July 17, the third consecutive day of such threats.

Former Delhi Chief Minister and education minister Atishi had criticised the BJP for failing to ensure the safety of children after over 20 schools had received bomb threats.

“More than 20 schools have received bomb threats today! Think of the trauma that children, parents, and teachers would be going through," she said in a post on X.

"BJP controls all four engines of governance in Delhi, and is yet not able to provide any safety or security to our children! Shocking!"
