New Delhi, June 12

Over 10 museums, including the Rail Museum in the city, received bomb threat emails which later turned out to be hoax calls, Delhi Police officials said on Wednesday.

The threats, sent via email to approximately 10-15 museums, prompted immediate investigations. Upon receiving the threats on Tuesday, Delhi police teams were dispatched to the affected museums, including the Rail Museum, to conduct thorough inspections.

After extensive searches, the threats were found to be false alarms, with no bombs found at any of the locations. A case has been registered.

Recently, institutions such as schools, colleges, hospitals, and airports have been frequent targets of hoax bomb threats.

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).
