The Chief Minister’s Secretariat and Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) on Tuesday received bomb related threats via email, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement agencies.

According to police, the email contained threats indicating possible explosions at MAMC around 2:45 pm and at the CM Secretariat by 3:30 pm.

Upon receipt of the threat, immediate and coordinated action was initiated as per the established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), they added. The Bomb Detection and Disposal Teams (BDDS/BDT) were deployed at both locations to conduct thorough checks and scans, an official said.

“Appropriate measures were taken to ensure the safety and security of all people present at both locations, the official added.
