Security Tightened Across City

This latest wave of bomb threats is not an isolated incident. Over recent months, similar threats have been made against high-profile locations across Kerala.

Additional security protocols have been implemented, and airport and city-wide surveillance is being increased.

The rise in such threats raises questions about the motives behind these malicious pranks and the resources being diverted to manage them. Let’s hope this trend doesn’t escalate further and safety remains paramount.
