According to them, a few top schools in Delhi, Mumbai and some residential schools in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh are likely to be given special security guidelines.
In the bloodiest terror attack in Pakistan in years, at least 148 people, mostly children, were killed by heavily-armed Taliban suicide bombers who stormed an Army-run school in Peshawar and took several hostages.
