Punjab: Bomb Threat Emails Target Jalandhar Schools, Prompt Security Checks

At least two schools in Jalandhar received bomb threat emails on Monday, prompting police, fire brigade, bomb squads, dog squads, and ambulances to rush to the premises for anti-sabotage checks. This comes after similar hoax threats in Chandigarh, Amritsar, Patiala, Haryana, and Jalandhar earlier this month, all of which were false alarms.

Jalandhar: At least two schools here received bomb threat emails on Monday, prompting authorities to carry out anti-sabotage checks, officials said.

Police, fire brigade officials, bomb squads, dog squads and ambulances were rushed to the school premises.

The latest scare comes close on the heels of similar threats in Chandigarh, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala and Haryana schools. All threats turned out to be hoaxes.

On February 27, several schools in Chandigarh had received bomb threat emails which turned out to a hoax.

On February 19, the Punjab Civil Secretariat received a bomb threat email, but no suspicious or explosive material was found.
