Haryana Civil Secretariat building in Chandigarh evacuated after bomb threat

The alarming threat led to the immediate evacuation of the Haryana Secretariat complex, located in the city’s heart and sparked a massive security operation.

The threat email was received by the Haryana Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Chandigarh Police, and bomb detection and disposal teams quickly cordoned off the area surrounding the CM’s residence and the secretariat building.

After an extensive search operation lasting several hours, no explosive devices were found and the alert was declared a hoax.
