After North Block, Lady Shri Ram College and Sri Venkateswara College in Delhi receive bomb threats

A day after North Block of Delhi was on alert, two colleges, Lady Shri Ram College and Sri Venkateswara College on Thursday received threat mails.

"Some calls were received regarding bomb threats in colleges. All are bogus calls. No need to worry," said Delhi Police.

North Block on alert:

Earlier, a bomb threat on Wednesday sent alarm bells ringing in the North Block, which houses the Home Ministry office. However, the threat was declared a hoax after nothing objectionable was found, officials said. The threat was received through an email around 3.30 pm by a senior officer posted at the ministry, according to a Delhi Fire Services (DFS) official.
