Aprajita Gautam, president of Delhi Parents’ Association said that there was
wide-spread panic among parents as the messages started circulating in school
groups in WhatsApp in the morning. “Since many schools announced early
dispersal, the schools shared tracking details of the school buses via which
the students were going back home. Hence, parents knew that their children
were safe.”
However, she added that for children in smaller schools that do not have
buses, and where parents are working, many children have not been evacuated as
yet, and parents continue to be worried.
