Chandigarh [India], June 14 (HBTV): The Haryana Civil Secretariat premises were evacuated on Friday after officials received an email warning of a bomb threat, prompting immediate security action.
Visuals from the site showed security personnel making announcements over loudspeakers, urging occupants to evacuate the premises as a precautionary measure.
Further details regarding the nature of the threat and subsequent investigations are awaited.
This incident comes just weeks after a similar scare on May 22, when the Punjab and Haryana High Court received a bomb threat. The court premises were promptly evacuated and proceedings were suspended.
‘We received a bomb threat. The lawyers and staff were asked to vacate the High Court. The court's work has been suspended until 2 pm,’ Gagandeep Jammu, Secretary of the Punjab & Haryana High Court Bar Association, had said at the time.
