The explosion took place when the alert was not taken seriously
The alert of IB was not taken seriously by the local administration. There was no arrangement of any kind here. That is why the mini secretariat for the blast, which is the bastion of the administrative officers, has the offices of Deputy Commissioner Varinder Sharma, Police Commissioner Gurpreet Bhullar and all the police officers. Even two metal detectors installed in the district court complex were not working.
