Fortis Hospital in Punjab and several private schools in Mohali have received a bomb threat email from an organisation named 'Khalistan National Army'. The threat warns of an explosion at 1:11 PM, following which police and security agencies are on high alert.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's Name Included in Threat

The threat email specifically mentions that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will be present at Fortis Hospital at the same time. The Chief Minister has been admitted to Fortis Hospital since Sunday due to health reasons. In this situation, security forces have further intensified the security arrangements around him.

Immediate Rescue and Security Action

Police immediately evacuated the schools and people were moved to safe locations. Following the threat, bomb disposal squads have been activated and a thorough investigation has been initiated. Security forces' deployment has been increased in sensitive areas, and efforts to prevent any potential threat are being intensified.

Tight Security Arrangements at Fortis Hospital

Security was already tight since Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's hospitalisation, but after this threat, it has been converted into a cantonment-like security. Several police teams are searching every corner of the hospital premises to ensure the complete safety of the CM and other patients. Any lapse will not be tolerated.
