They dispatched two fire engines to the scene but later returned, as there was no fire and no injuries reported.

The National Security Guard has been notified, and a team may visit the site for further assessment. Special Commissioner (Special Cell) RP Upadhyay has also reached the location.

Authorities are reviewing CCTV footage from the area for clues. Police indicated that an underground sewage line is being examined as part of the investigation. Preliminary sources suggest that a crude bomb may be responsible for the explosion.

Eyewitnesses described the blast as extremely loud, with one person stating they felt dizzy from the noise. Another witness reported seeing a thick cloud of smoke following the explosion.

The investigation is ongoing, and this incident follows recent bomb threats that led to over 70 flights being grounded or diverted.
