Trichy (Tamil Nadu): Eight schools in Trichy district received bomb threats via email on Thursday, prompting immediate action from school authorities. The threats were discovered only after the schools opened for the day, leading officials to quickly inform the police and evacuate the premises.
Authorities swiftly deployed bomb disposal teams and sniffer dogs to inspect the schools, as confirmed by Trichy City Police. After thorough checks, the bomb detection team found no suspicious items on the grounds.
As investigations continue, police suspect the email may have been a hoax.

A thorough search of the Hanumangarh station revealed no suspicious items, and a case has been filed against unidentified individuals at the Hanumangarh GRP police station.
Authorities are actively searching trains and enhancing security at all affected stations.
