An IndiGo flight from Chandigarh made an emergency landing at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport following a “bomb threat”, police said on Wednesday.

According to a police official, the threat call was received at the airport's hotline number on Tuesday.

“At 14.32 pm on Tuesday, the ATC (air traffic controller) declared full emergency for an incoming IndiGo flight (6E-6382) due to a bomb threat,” said a source from Mumbai airport.

The flight landed safely at 14.57 pm, and was taken to the isolation bay for checks as per the security protocol, the source said without disclosing the number of people on board. There was nothing suspicious found on the flight, he said.

A thorough security exercise was conducted on the aircraft, but nothing suspicious was found, said the police official.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
