Jalandhar Schools Face Bomb Threats: Police Search DAV & APJ Branches
Jalandhar: March 2, 2026
Two Jalandhar schools—APJ branch in Rama Mandi and DAV near Punjab Armed Police campus—received emails threatening bomb blasts. Alerted authorities rushed sniffer dogs and bomb squad for thorough searches.
Police combed premises; no explosives found yet. Schools stayed open to avoid panic, despite repeat hoax threats. Cyber teams trace email origins; probe mirrors Feb 1 PM Modi visit alerts hitting 6 schools—no suspicious items recovered then either.
Past patterns (Dec 2025: 11 schools evacuated; Jan 2026 pre-Modi threats termed frivolous) suggest hoaxes, but high vigilance continues. Schools urged calm; parents advised normal routines.
