In Chandigarh, parents are voicing their worries about the CBSE's recent decision to introduce a mandatory third language for students in Classes 9 and 10 starting in 2026-27. Their primary concerns revolve around the potential increase in academic stress and possible hindrances to ongoing foreign language programs.
Chandigarh schools received bomb threat emails on Thursday, triggering a security alert and investigation. This incident mirrors a similar event in April, where threats targeted various key locations in the city. Authorities are working to maintain public safety and prevent panic, while a separate case involving a man sending over 1,000 hoax threats across India is also highlighted.
