New Delhi: An email about a bomb at the Dabolim airport in South Goa sent the authorities into a tizzy on Monday, prompting them to increase the security on the premises, news agency PTI reported quoting a senior official.
Talking to PTI, airport director S V T Dhanamjaya Rao said his office received an email in the morning about a bomb at the airport.
“We are taking extra precautions now. While security has been heightened at the airport, the flight operations are unaffected,” Rao said. The Goa police received a formal complaint from the airport officials, and the bomb disposal squad was combing the area, a police official said.
“We are not leaving any stone unturned. We are working as per the prescribed protocol,” he said. The airport director said they were trying to find out the origin of the email, which was also addressed to other airports in the country.
