Senior police officers, along with teams from local police stations, bomb disposal units, fire services, dog squads and BDDS personnel, were immediately deployed to the schools mentioned in the emails.

Thorough inspections were conducted at the premises of a number of institutions, while a dedicated cyber team was tasked with examining the origin and technical details of the threatening messages, according to an official Noida police statement, as reported by PTI.

"Situation is normal, and complete peace and order have been ensured at the sites. People are advised not to pay attention to rumours," the police said.
