Bomb threats were reported at Dera Sachkhand Ballan and two schools in Jalandhar on Saturday, January 31, 2026. This came a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi was due to visit the Dera for Guru Ravidas Jayanti on February 1. The threat emails were sent to the schools, but the message directly targeted the Dera Ballan. Police began security checks immediately and called in bomb squads. Luckily, no students were present because the schools were closed for a holiday. Police said they are verifying the emails and the situation is under investigation. The incident follows a series of similar bomb threat emails sent to schools in Chandigarh on January 28, where nothing suspicious was found. Earlier, such hoax threats were also reported in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala, and Ambala. Authorities are taking the threats seriously to ensure safety during the PM's visit.
