Mumbai experienced a significant security operation on Saturday evening after a bomb threat call was received targeting Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). The Government Railway Police Control Room in Wadi Bunder received the alert at around 6.40 pm on November 14, following which security agencies swiftly mobilized for a joint checking operation.
The Railway Protection Force (RPF), GRP, Mumbai Police, and other agencies participated in the search, with the RPF dog squad joining in to inspect the station premises thoroughly.
The extensive security operation included checking of all platforms, foot overbridges, the parcel area, and other critical locations within the station. Trains based at the premises were also meticulously inspected to eliminate any possibility of an explosive device being placed inside them. However, despite this thorough checking, no suspicious material, object, or person was found during the operation.
Railway authorities and commuters were relieved by this outcome, considering CSMT's status as one of Mumbai's busiest railway terminals, handling thousands of passengers daily.
