The hospital where CM Mann is admitted has received a bomb threat
Fortis Hospital in Mohali, Punjab, has received a bomb threat from the 'Khalistan National Army' amidst the hospitalization of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Fortis Hospital in Mohali, Punjab, has been put on high alert after receiving a bomb threat via email from the 'Khalistan National Army'. The specific timing for the bomb was set for 1:11 PM, prompting local police and security agencies to take immediate action. The email notably mentioned the presence of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who has been receiving treatment at the hospital due to health issues since Sunday, raising significant concerns over security in the area.
In response to the threat, police swiftly evacuated nearby private schools and initiated extensive search operations with bomb disposal squads. The authorities have stepped up security measures surrounding both the hospital and educational institutions to prevent any potential incidents as tensions rise with the threat of violence.
Since CM Mann's admission last Sunday, security at Fortis Hospital had already been tightened, but the specific threat from a Khalistani organization has transformed the hospital into a heavily fortified area. Enhanced security protocols have been implemented to ensure the safety of patients and staff, reflecting the serious nature of the threats posed in the current socio-political climate in Punjab.
