Thiruvananthapuram:Kerala’s capital was on high alert Monday after bomb threats were issued to several high-security government locations, including the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), Cliff House the official residence of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the Secretariat.

The threats were received via email, prompting immediate deployment of bomb disposal squads and intensified security checks, reported news agency ANI. According to the Chief Minister’s Office, search operations are currently underway at all affected sites. Police and bomb detection units have cordoned off the areas and are conducting thorough inspections. So far, nothing has been found.

This incident follows a series of similar threats in recent days. On Sunday, Thiruvananthapuram International Airport received a bomb threat via email, which was later confirmed to be a hoax after extensive security checks.

Additionally, several hotels in the city, including the Hilton Garden Inn and Gokulam Grand Hotel, received bomb threats on Saturday, leading to evacuations and searches that yielded no evidence of explosives.
