An anonymous call threatening a blast in the Howrah-Guwahati Kamrup Express today sent security personnel into a tizzy.

Eastern Railway sources said an anonymous caller told Howrah station control room at around noon that a blast would occur in the train at 8.30pm.

The number was a land-line one and when called back the control room staff were told that it was a PCO.

"The caller did not give any other details but we are taking all security measures in the train. The police have also been informed," the sources said.
