Delhi Schools Implement Safety Measures After Bomb Threats
The Delhi government has created new rules for schools to make them safer from bomb threats, after many fake threats were made.
These rules require things like cameras, escape plans, and drills.
Schools must also check their safety every month and report it.
If a threat happens, the police and fire department will help.
These rules apply to all Delhi schools to keep everyone safe.
Delhi government implemented new SOPs to manage bomb threats in schools.
The SOPs are in response to over 200 hoax bomb threats in 2024-25.
Schools must install CCTV, create evacuation plans, and conduct safety drills.
A four-tier strategy focusing on prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery is used.
Schools must submit monthly safety checklists and develop plans for Children with Special Needs.
