Train evacuated, security upped following bomb scare in N. Delhi

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Indian authorities have evacuated passengers from the Delhi-Lucknow Shatabdi Express at the Ghaziabad railway station near capital New Delhi early on Sunday following reports of a bomb scare on the train.
India's leading television NDTV reported, quoting "railway sources," that the security authorities evacuated all the passengers from the Delhi-Lucknow Shatabdi Express following a warning received from the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad about the possibility of bomb attacks in trains ferrying between New Delhi and Kanpur, near the capital of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow. This has led to the cancellation or diversion of a number of trains.
The NDTV quoted Delhi Divisional Railway Manager Arun Arora as saying: "We received an input from Delhi Police about a possibility of bombs in major trains like Shatabdi, Duronto, Rajdhani, Vaishali Express and Nilanchal Express." The official added that the security forces have launched search operations across all railway stations in the city soon after receiving the information and "so far nothing was found." Security was beefed up at major railway stations including New Delhi, Nizamuddin, Old Delhi and Anand Vihar.
Media sources reported that the security authorities have received a letter in which the messenger warned of attacks in train in the coming 72-hours-time. This has come one day after a terror attack on the Air Base in Punjab's Pathankot, near Pakistan border killing three security personal and four militants.
