Schools in Delhi-NCR registered a dip in attendance on Thursday, a day after a bomb scare which left parents rattled about the safety of their children in schools.
Numerous schools in Delhi and Noida received bomb threats via email, resulting in the evacuation of at least 80 schools. Police, bomb squads, and fire brigades rushed to the scenes. Despite extensive searches, authorities found nothing, leading them to believe the threats were hoaxes. The threatening emails, invoking jihad, warned of imminent harm, prompting heightened security measures and investigations.
