Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in Lodhi Estate informed parents that a security threat had been received and that police and fire authorities were alerted immediately.
Emergency response teams initiated evacuation procedures and carried out anti-sabotage checks.
“Our teams are on site, and standard operating procedures are being followed. Nothing suspicious has been found so far,” a Delhi Fire Services official said, adding that search operations were still ongoing.
In a message to parents, the Sardar Patel Vidyalaya administration said bomb disposal teams had conducted a thorough inspection of the campus and declared it safe. The school said classes would continue as usual.
Police sources said bomb disposal squads, local police personnel, and dog squads were deployed at the affected campuses, with students and staff shifted to safe locations in some cases as a precaution. Efforts are underway to identify the source of the threat messages.
On Wednesday, at least 26 schools in Chandigarh received bomb threat emails.
Several government and private schools across sectors 25, 19, 45, 16 and other areas were affected. Students and staff were evacuated, and security was tightened around school premises. Students en route to schools were asked to return home.
Officials said similar bomb threat incidents were reported recently in parts of Punjab and Haryana, including Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala and Ambala, which later proved to be hoaxes.
