After Gujarat, many hotels in Uttar Pradesh's capital Lucknow have received bomb threats. The threat to blow up the hotel has been given through mail. Hotel Fortune, Lemon Tree, Hotel Marriot, located on Rana Pratap Marg in Lucknow, and many other hotels have received threats. After this, the hotel operators have informed the police about it in a hurry. After getting the information, the police reached the spot and started a large-scale investigation. The sender of the mail is also being investigated.

Fake calls have come many times.

In India, many schools, colleges, hotels, and airports have received bomb threat emails and calls from April to October this year. These threats were given in many cities including Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Jaipur. The local police administration and security agencies are on alert regarding this. Most of the threats have been given through social media platforms. Now the central government is going to take the help of social media agencies like Meta and X to investigate the cases.

Government-issued advisory

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology on Saturday issued an advisory, fixing the responsibility of all intermediaries, including social media platforms, for preventing the spread of fake bomb threats received by various airlines and warning of action in case of failure to curb these rumors.

The government warned the people.

The government has asked social media platforms to share data about fake bomb threat messages with airlines and identify those behind such activities. Moreover, the scale of the spread of such false bomb threats is dangerously uncontrolled due to the availability of options for forwarding, re-sharing, re-posting, and re-tweeting on social media platforms.

Such false bomb threats are mostly misinformation that causes massive disruption to public order, airline operations, and the safety of airline passengers.
