Ambala Schools Receive Bomb Threats, Police Conduct Security Sweeps
Several schools in Ambala faced bomb threats on Monday. Anonymous emails triggered immediate police action across multiple educational institutions.
Police Respond Swiftly to Anonymous Threats
Seema Dutt, Principal of Riverside DAV Public School in Ambala Cantt, confirmed the situation. "We informed the police after receiving an anonymous email," Dutt stated. "Police personnel arrived here promptly. We remain on high alert."
Dutt revealed that three schools received identical threatening emails. Police teams conducted thorough inspections of all premises mentioned in the threats.
Security Measures Intensify Across Schools
Authorities deployed multiple resources to ensure student safety. The response included:
- Bomb disposal squads scanning school buildings
- Sniffer dogs checking classrooms and grounds
- Additional police personnel securing perimeters
- Continuous monitoring of email communications
Police officials confirmed no suspicious objects were found during the extensive searches. The all-clear was given after comprehensive security checks.
Similar Incidents Raise National Concerns
This incident follows a pattern of school threats across India. On December 10, several Delhi schools received similar bomb threats via email.
Delhi Police noted that threat emails reached institutions around the same time. Schools implemented phased dispersal plans to avoid panic among students and parents.
The coordinated nature of these threats suggests possible connections. Police departments in different states are comparing notes and sharing intelligence.
Community Response and Ongoing Vigilance
School administrators maintain constant communication with local authorities. Parents received regular updates about security measures and dismissal procedures.
Police emphasize that such threats create unnecessary panic but require serious investigation. Forensic teams are examining the anonymous emails for digital fingerprints and origin points.
Educational institutions across Ambala have reinforced their security protocols. Random checks and increased vigilance will continue in coming days.
Authorities urge citizens to report any suspicious activity immediately. They assure the public that all necessary precautions are being taken to protect students and school staff.
