Several schools in Delhi, including Delhi Public School in Vasant Vihar and RK Puram, received bomb threat emails on Wednesday, prompting police investigations. The emails claimed that "massive and highly dangerous explosives" had been planted on school premises, exploiting perceived lax security measures regarding student bag checks. The sender appeared to be knowledgeable about the schools' exam schedules and student movements, suggesting that the threats were credible. This incident follows a pattern of similar hoax threats that plagued over a hundred schools in the capital last year, with a private school student later identified as the perpetrator of a specific threat. The Delhi Police had previously dealt with multiple bomb threat emails in December 2022, indicating a troubling trend in school safety concerns. Authorities are currently working to ascertain the legitimacy of these latest threats.

Published: Jan 09 2025, 4 pmeznews.inIn Karnataka, a recent dinner hosted by Public Works Minister Satish Jharkiholi has ignited speculation about the power dynamics within the ruling Congress party, particularly between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. While Jharkiholi described the gathering as “apolitical,” it highlighted existing rivalries, especially given his known opposition to Shivakumar. The dinner's significance is underscored by the ongoing tensions regarding the Chief Ministership, which was settled in Siddaramaiah's favor after the 2023 elections, with Shivakumar remaining as Deputy Chief Minister and State Congress president. Despite denials from both camps regarding any mid-term power transfer, the political landscape remains fraught with challenges. Allegations of corruption have tarnished Siddaramaiah's reputation, yet he maintains considerable support among MLAs.
