Bomb in Schools: Information is true or false

On Wednesday morning, the news of bombs in about 100 schools in the capital region worried everyone. There was a conspiracy to spread terror through schools on a large scale. Although security is tight in most schools, outsiders are not allowed to enter the school. Still, there should be more concern about security in schools, and everyone should become aware again.

Well, if we notice, it rarely happens that attacks are carried out out of fear. Be it the 9/11 attacks or the 26/11 attacks, the terrorists did not carry out the deadly attacks by talking or threatening them. Usually, after an attack, a terrorist organization takes responsibility for it. At present, bomb threats in schools do not seem to have much effect. But this does not mean that we should sit in fear.

Such threats also need to be taken seriously because we are concerned about the safety of children. The investigation should be completed, and wherever there was a threat of a bomb, the police should cordon off the place and follow the established procedure.

There is a need to understand the mentality of Dashatgardas, they want to see a big impact in any of their actions. In such a situation, elements choose crowded markets so that small explosions can have a big impact. Railway stations, markets, or bus stands were the targets, so that by causing harm to as many people as possible, they would be able to spread panic in society on a large scale.

Sometimes in Delhi, there was a conspiracy to explode buses with the help of transistors, toys were also used. Now the number of crowded areas is increasing. As tall buildings have been built and many buildings have been erected, anxiety has also increased accordingly.

If there is an explosion at such a place and a stampede occurs, it can cause massive damage and create a chaotic situation. Meaning, the security arrangements of all such crowded places should be kept tight so that violent or wrong activities at any place cannot lay a trap in such a place. The number of crowded places will increase day by day, and it cannot be avoided.

For example, earlier there were not so many schools, but now there are schools at different places, so the challenges have also increased. Crowding is increasing even in small cities, but there is more danger in big cities. When a terrorist incident occurs in a big city, it is discussed more in the country and the world. The only aim of terrorists is to get maximum publicity.

When there is an attack on the World Trade Tower or directly on the Parliament in a commercial capital like Mumbai or Delhi, panic spreads rapidly. There is no doubt that we should be concerned about all the economically and politically important cities in the country.

Particular consideration will have to be given to all schools, crowded places, and emotions. How did people evacuate in case of an accident? Every building should have a stampede prevention plan. People should also be aware.

Like in a cinema hall, information about emergency evacuation routes is recorded at various places, but people pay less attention to it. Similarly, everyone should be aware of the emergency plans so that they can act with safety and caution. People should get out of the building in time to save their lives.

Similarly, if we talk about schools, earlier rehearsals were done in schools so that, in case of an emergency, the students of which class would go in which direction and through which door. In case of an emergency, all the people would not run towards the same door; they would come out of the classrooms. There will be more and more than enough ways of escaping.

Students will have to tell you whether, in case of an emergency, they should run away through some route or come to the school grounds. Schools should have a safety plan. Rehearsal of emergency arrangements should be done from time to time; this helps people to remain alert and also reduces carelessness in understanding.

However, in the schools of the National Capital Region where threats have been received, the police should inspect the schools at full opportunity, and the security arrangements of the schools should also be reviewed. It should not be believed that there is no city under threat.

There is also a lesson from such a threat: we should be more alert than before and re-examine and fine-tune our rescue plans. The police should sit with the school management and see how the school will defend itself or its children in such a situation. In those schools that have a rescue plan, the police can help those schools that do not have a rescue plan.

Similar preparations should be made in every society, every high-rise building, office, market, and mall. The security of airports and bus terminals should also come under review. In case of rescue, arrangements for water, electricity, and emergency medical facilities should be made. Which hospitals are nearby? People should keep in mind their complete planning of where to go for rescue.
