Panic briefly gripped the Mahipalpur area of Delhi on Thursday morning after an explosion-like sound was reportedly heard near the Radisson Hotel.

According to officials, the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) received a call at 9:18 AM and promptly dispatched three fire tenders to the site. Upon inspection, Delhi Police and fire officials thoroughly scanned the area and confirmed that no suspicious object or activity was found.

“The area has been verified, and nothing suspicious has been detected,” officials from DFS/Delhi Police said in a statement, urging citizens not to panic or spread unverified information.

The situation remains under control, and authorities continue to maintain heightened vigilance in the capital following the recent car blast incident near Red Fort earlier this week.
