Indian govt to issue fresh guidelines for safety of schools

In the wake of Peshawar school terror attack, the Modi govt will issue a fresh set of guidelines soon for the safety and security of all vulnerable places, especially prominent schools and academic institutions. The guidelines for schools will include asking them to prepare an escape plan for children in case of terror attack, how to prevent hostage situation, how to raise alarm and shut doors and gates in case of an emergency. "The earlier advisory was issued by the home ministry in 2010 to prominent schools and institutions after 26/11 Mumbai terror attack accused David Coleman Headley was arrested in the US," a Home ministry official said.
