Govt rolls out SOP to handle bomb threats in schools
The Morning Standard
|May 19, 2025
IN compliance with a high court order, the Delhi government has rolled out a comprehensive standard operating procedure (SOP) for managing bomb threats in schools that includes measures like installing CCTV cameras, making evacuation plans and holding regular safety audits & mock drills.
The step is significant, as more than 200 schools in the national capital received hoax bomb threats in 2024-25.
Designed by the Directorate of Education (DoE), the protocol lays emphasis on a four-tier strategy based on prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.
"The SOP aims to instill a culture of preparedness and vigilance while ensuring a swift and coordinated response during emergencies. To maintain transparency and accountability, schools are now required to submit a monthly safety checklist to their respective district authorities," the DoE said.
