Security forces in the Delhi-NCR region have ramped up preparedness with mock drills following recent hoax bomb threats targeting over 250 schools. The drills, conducted at various key locations including schools, airports, metro stations, and government buildings, aim to test readiness and response capabilities. Participants from the Delhi Police and NSG engaged in these exercises, which have also been expanded to high-profile locations like the Parliament building, Jhandewalan Temple, and Hyderabad House. The drills highlight the comprehensive approach to ensuring safety across public and government facilities.
Days after the city airport received a hoax bomb threat via email, the city police registered a case against an unidentified person. Security measures were taken and a thorough search confirmed it was a hoax. Similar incidents occurred in Kolkata, Goa, Noida, and Ghaziabad recently.
Over 200 schools in Delhi-NCR received bomb threats via e-mail, prompting police to contact Mail.ru via Interpol. CBI is involved. Investigations suspect VPN use. Some schools issued fresh advisories due to attendance impact.
