Bomb Hoax Rattles Revenue Divisional Office: A False Alarm

A bomb threat emailed to the Revenue Divisional Officer was a hoax, confirmed authorities. The suspected explosive was a false alarm after bomb and dog squads conducted thorough inspections. Efforts are underway by the Cyber Cell to trace the email's origin. Similar threats were reported in other districts.

The Office of the Revenue Divisional Officer was the site of an unfounded bomb threat that led to temporary chaos on Wednesday. Authorities confirmed that no explosives were located after rigorous inspections by bomb and dog squads.
