Mumbai has been put on high alert after an email threatened potential bomb blasts across the city within the next 48 hours.

Railway Police, too, have ramped up their presence, initiating anti-sabotage checks at major stations in an effort to safeguard daily commuters. Behind the scenes, the Cyber Police are leading the charge to trace the source of the email. Security has been tightened across the city. ​​​

From bustling railway stations and sacred religious sites to key government buildings, sensitive locations are now under heightened surveillance. Bomb Detection and Disposal Squads (BDDS) and the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) have been deployed and are actively scanning high-risk areas for any threats.
