Delhi Police, along with bomb disposal squads, dog units, and fire services, swiftly launched search and evacuation operations at the affected schools.
Taking to X, former Delhi education minister Atishi said that over 20 schools had received bomb threats and criticized the BJP for failing to ensure the safety of children.
“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.
