Bomb hoax once again haunts Delhi schools
At least seven prominent schools in Delhi were thrown into chaos amid panic over bomb threats received on Friday morning through email which turned out to be a hoax, police officials said.
The Delhi government’s education department has directed all government, government-aided and private schools to resume classes at their regular timings from Tuesday.
The decision was taken in the wake of improved weather conditions in the national capital.

“In view of the improved weather conditions in Delhi, all government, government-aided and recognized private schools of Delhi shall resume their full normal timings w.e.f. 6th February (Tuesday),” read the order issued by the Directorate of Education (DoE).

The HoSs (Head of Schools) must inform all students, parents and staff well in time through mass SMS facility, phone calls and other suitable means of communication, it added.
Earlier last month, the DOE asked schools not to start before 9 am and extend classes beyond 5 pm in view of the dense fog.
“In view of the prevailing foggy conditions, no school (including double shift schools) will start before 9 am and have classes beyond 5 pm till further directions,” the order read then.
