Delhi bomb scare: An unattended bag was found at a gate of New Delhi Railway Station on Saturday and bomb disposal and dog squads were rushed to the site, officials said. Delhi Fire Services (DFS) said a fire tender was also sent to the spot. Nothing suspicious has been found so far, they said.
A DFS official said a call was received at 7.55 am regarding an unattended bag lying at gate number 8 of the station, he said. “This raised suspicions and we rushed a fire tender to the site,” the official said. As of now nothing suspicious has been found and a search operation is ongoing, he said, adding that bomb disposal squads and dog squads are present at the site.
The bomb scare comes just days after the Pahalgam terror attack after security was beefed up in crowded places in the capital. 26 people, majority of which who were tourists, lost their lives at the hand of this act of terrorism. While there have been no concrete sources uncovered, authorities have reached the location promptly.
The Pahalgam terror attack also placed the Indus water treaty under the lens due to the rising India-Pak tensions. It hasn’t just stopped at sending Pakistani nationals back, Instagram accounts of public figures like Hania Amir have been banned in India kick-starting a cyber war. Simultaneously, the airspace dispute continues as a means of establishing infrastructural dominance expressing hostility in the sitiuation.
