Security Alert Issued After Bomb Threat Email at Delhi's Industry Bhawan

A security alert was activated at the Industry Bhawan in New Delhi following the receipt of a threatening email. The message warned of a potential bomb attack using an improvised explosive device (IED). This email was directed to the Secretary of the Ministry of Heavy Industries, claiming that a suicide IED would be deployed within the premises of the Industry Bhawan.

Located in a high-security zone of the national capital, the Industry Bhawan is surrounded by significant government buildings, including the Parliament House and the President's residence. The Ministry of Heavy Industries and various other government departments operate from this location. In response to the threat, the central secretary instructed the assistant commandant of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to take immediate and appropriate action. As a precaution, the building was evacuated, and security measures in the surrounding area were intensified, with officials taking all necessary precautions.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Chandigarh police received another bomb threat call, prompting a high alert around the Chief Minister's office and other key government sites in Haryana. Sources indicated that the caller threatened to blow up the Chief Minister's office, leading to immediate police action. Security was tightened at both the Haryana Secretariat and the Chief Minister's residence. Bomb disposal squads and heavily armed personnel conducted searches in and around these locations. Authorities are actively working to trace the source of the threat. So far, no suspicious items have been found, but the situation is being closely monitored.
