Bomb Scare In Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Public School

August 17, 2007. The scariest day of my life.

My children's school (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Public School, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad) received a bomb threat in the late morning, close to noon. The children were rushed outside into the playground while the police bomb disposal squad took over the premises. My 3 year old son and his class mates from LKG & UKG were sent home by bus at the regular time. My daughter (class 4) was still at school. We finally received the all clear after 1.00 pm and then the children were allowed to go home.

Those were the worst 3 hours I have ever spent. Thank God the threat was a hoax.
