Several schools in the Delhi-NCR region received bomb threats via email on Wednesday morning, prompting the evacuation of students as a precaution. According to reports, around 50 schools received these threats.
Prominent schools that were targeted include Mother Mary’s School in Mayur Vihar, St. Thomas’ Girls Senior Secondary School, Sanskriti School in Chanakyapuri, Army Public School, and multiple Delhi Public Schools (DPS) in locations such as RK Puram, East of Kailash, Vasant Vihar, Dwarka, Noida, Sector 122, and Knowledge Park 5. Other affected schools include G D Goenka in Dwarka, Guru Harkrishan Public School, Salwan Public School, BGS Vijnatham School, and Amity School in Pushp Vihar.
Authorities quickly evacuated Mother Mary’s School in Mayur Vihar and began a thorough search of the premises. Meanwhile, Delhi minister Atishi has assured the public that the situation is being closely monitored and that police searches have so far found no explosives. The minister advised parents and citizens to remain calm.

The spread of the threats has caused some panic among parents, particularly in schools that have not received threats but are affected by the situation. As a result, many parents have been gathering outside schools demanding closures.
The Delhi Fire Services received around 60 calls about bomb threats in schools and immediately deployed fire tenders to investigate. The Fire Services director, Atul Garg, reported that fire tenders have already returned from some schools with no evidence of bombs found.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) also stated that there is no need for panic and that the threats appear to be hoaxes. Delhi Police and other security agencies are handling the situation according to established protocols.
