The Delhi Police said there are also 23 BDS/BDT units of the Central Armed Police Forces stationed in the national capital, which can be deployed after due approval of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
It further said five batches of BDS/BDT, having 15 personnel in each batch, will also be trained in this regard.
The stand of the police, which has earlier said there are a total of five BDS and 18 BDT for over 4,600 schools here, came on an additional affidavit filed in a 2023 petition by Arpit Bhargava, a lawyer by profession, in the wake of a hoax bomb threat in Delhi Public School (DPS), Mathura Road here.
“There are 18 Bomb Detection Teams working in Delhi Police located at base stations with the objective of minimizing response time and to ensure coverage of the geographical area of the concerned District.
