“Schools have received bomb threats in Gautam Buddh Nagar on Monday. Bomb disposal teams, dog squads, police officials and fire department teams have been deployed at the sites as security checks are carried out,” the PRO said.
Earlier this year, Gautam Buddh Nagar police responded to three bomb threat incidents that later turned out to be hoaxes.
On January 23, ahead of Republic Day, around 20 schools in Noida received threat emails, while 18 schools were targeted on February 19 during the board examination period.
On July 13, a bomb threat was reported at the District Magistrate’s office in Greater Noida. All three incidents triggered extensive security checks, but no threat was found to be genuine. PTI COR KIS SHS
