CNN-IBN

New Delhi: A bomb alert in Parliament Annexe on Thursday afternoon sent the security systems into a tizzy.

The alert was sounded reportedly after the recovery of an unclaimed bag and

a bomb disposal squad of the National Security Guards (NSG) was immediately pressed into service.

However, authorities later declared the entire exercise was a security drill.

According to CNN-IBN correspondent Bhupendra Chaubey, Parliament Watch and Ward staff - responsible for the security of the complex - received a note saying a bomb had been planted in Library Complex, located right opposite Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

Security was immediately heightened and the entire complex was sealed.
