Few schools in Chandigarh get bomb threat emails
Chandigarh (PTI): A few schools in Chandigarh received bomb threat through emails on Thursday, prompting authorities to launch anti-sabotage checks at the educational institutions, officials said.
After receiving information about threat emails, bomb disposal squads, dog squads, and other teams, including police, ambulances and fire brigade were rushed to schools, they said.
They said search and santisation operations were underway at the schools.
The fresh scare comes close on the heels of similar threats in the past few weeks at multiple places in Punjab and Haryana, where such emails later turned out to be hoaxes
A few days ago, several schools in Patiala and Moga received bomb threat emails in Punjab but nothing suspicious was found.

SC refuses to entertain plea seeking guidelines for display of Ashoka Chakra
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to entertain a plea seeking a direction to the Centre and others to frame guidelines for the display of the Ashoka Chakra on the national flag.
A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi told the petitioner, who appeared in person, to do something constructive for society.
"There is no need to be so emotional about these things. Your idea is good. You have informed the authorities. Now it is for the authorities to see what they want to do," the CJI told the petitioner.
"You do some constructive work for society," the bench said.
The petitioner showed a picture of the Ashoka Chakra installed at a roundabout in Varanasi, but the bench refused to entertain the plea.
