Atishi request Parents’ Calm Amidst ‘Bomb Threats’ at Delhi-NCR Schools

The national capital’s and neighboring Noida’s schools got bomb threats via email on Wednesday morning. However, Delhi’s education minister, Atishi, advised parents not to fear. Furthermore, Atishi noted that nothing has yet been discovered in any of the schools. “This morning, bomb threats were sent to a few schools. Delhi Police are searching certain locations while the students have been evacuated. In any of the schools, nothing has been discovered thus far. We communicate with the schools and the police on a daily basis. I would ask residents and parents not to get alarmed. Atishi said on X (formerly Twitter) that “school authorities will be in touch with parents wherever needed.” The educational institutions that have received bomb threats include Mother Mary’s School in Mayur Vihar, Delhi Public School at Dwarka, Sanskriti School in Chanakyapuri, Delhi Public School at Vasant Kunj, Amity School in Saket, and Delhi Public School (DPS) in Noida Sector 30, according to authorities.

Following the police’s notification of the emails, all schools have been evacuated, according to Delhi Police authorities. A police officer stated that a search operation is in progress and that personnel from the fire department, bomb disposal squad, and explosives detection team had been dispatched to the Delhi schools. According to the preliminary inquiry, emails have been sent to many Delhi schools since yesterday. Threat emails were sent out according to the same template. The dateline is not stated. The email mentions BCC, so it’s obvious that one email was sent to several addresses, according to the Delhi Police. Bomb threats have been made to many schools. We are looking at every danger, and further research is being done on the subject,” it stated.

As a precaution, all Delhi-NCR schools that received threat emails were shuttered, the students were returned, and the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) was adhered to, according to the authorities. One of the schools mailed parents an update on the danger and the safety precautions the school had taken in case of an emergency. “An email about a bomb threat to the school was received this morning. As a result, the pupils are being distributed right now as a safety precaution. We respectfully ask that you pick up your children from their designated bus stops. We respectfully ask parents to come pick up their children right away. The parents received a communication that stated, “The Bus Route Incharges will periodically keep you informed about the movement of the buses.”

UP Topper Prachi Nigam’s Heartbreaking Message to Trolls: ‘Wish I Didn’t Top

Online mocking over her facial hair thrust Prachi Nigam, the UP Board Class 10 topper with an astounding 98.50 percent, into the unexpected limelight. Prachi grinned and said she was disappointed that her attractiveness had garnered more attention on social media than her exceptional academic ranking, in an interview. She said, looking back, “I wouldn’t have gained this social media popularity and wouldn’t have faced such trolling for my appearance if I had scored just 1-2 marks less.” The teenager, who was honest about the frequent physical abuse she receives due to her appearance, sighed, saying, “It hurts, but people on social media will say what they want, and there’s no stopping them.”

Since then, she has received a lot of support on social media from those who are unable to comprehend the impact of the careless trolls who never hesitated to make fun of her beauty. One person shared a clip of her interview with the BBC and bemoaned that “we failed as a society for her.” One commenter on the widely shared photo said, “The best moment in her life is now a painful memory.” Social media can be incredibly nasty and poisonous. “The people who trolled her are the real losers, more so than society,” said one additional remark. People in our culture are full of losers who are willing to yell at anyone who achieves success, especially if she is a woman.

Another remark expressed sympathy, saying, “What a sad situation. Consider the psychological suffering she would have experienced. Fortunately, a fourth remark highlighted her fortitude in the face of trolls, stating, “It takes some next-level courage to stand against this level of hate from the world.” She’s far too capable of this. Prachi also talked about her future goals, saying that she is committed to following her ambitions of becoming an engineer. “I encouraged my daughter to ignore the trolls, and to my surprise, many social media users supported her after a few days,” said Mamta Nigam, the mother of the victim, about how she helped her daughter once the trolling started.

Chandra Prakash Nigam, Prachi’s father, expressed his family’s delight in their daughter’s accomplishment while expressing sadness about the teasing. “People in society come in a variety of forms. Naturally, we were upset, but we are also happy for our daughter for receiving the best grades, he added. Mrs. Nigam said that she had intended to consult a doctor about her daughter’s care, but the trolling occurred before they could do so. “The government will now handle her treatment,” she continued.
