Rameswaram: A bomb threat call to the railway station here turned out to be a hoax following a thorough search, police said Tuesday. An anonymous phone call received by the officials of the station Monday night stated that a bomb had been planted there.
Immediately, Railway Protection Force personnel and sniffer dogs were pressed into service and they found no explosive, the police said. A large number of pilgrims, especially from northern states, visit the ancient Lord Ramanathaswamy temple and other holy places in this island town throughout the year.
