Delhi explosion: Atishi says situation in national capital is like Mumbai's underworld era of 1990s

New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has compared the situation in Delhi to Mumbai's underworld era of the 1990s after an explosion ripped through the wall of a school in the union territory.

Atishi posted on X, "The incident of bomb blast outside a school in Rohini is exposing the crumbling security system of Delhi. The responsibility of law and order in Delhi lies with the BJP's central government. But the BJP, leaving this work, spends all its time in obstructing the work of the elected government of Delhi.

"This is the reason why the situation in Delhi today is like the Mumbai underworld era of the 1990s. Bullets are being fired openly in the city, gangsters are extorting money and the morale of criminals is high. BJP has neither the intention to work nor the capability."

"If by mistake the people of Delhi give them the responsibility of the Delhi government, they will make the condition of schools, hospitals, electricity and water the same as the condition of law and order in Delhi today," she added.

The incident triggered alarm in the national capital.

No casualty was reported in the explosion which occurred near the CRPF school in Sector-14 area of Rohini in North West Delhi.

The police along with crime team, forensic officials and bomb disposal squad rushed to the spot after the explosion.

"The school wall was found damaged. There was a foul smell. The glasses of a nearby shop and a car parked near the shop were damaged," the police told UNI.

“Today at 07:47 am, a PCR call was received in which the caller informed that a blast with a high volume took place near CRPF School Sector 14, Rohini,” the police said.

The incident occurred at a time when numerous airlines across India received bomb hoax calls in recent times.
