Chennai: After a search that lasted several hours, an IT Park in Ambattur near Chennai has been declared safe. The complex houses the training centre of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's biggest exporter of software services.
More than a thousand TCS employees were evacuated this morning after a phone call to the police warned of a bomb in the building.
Of the 16 storeys in the building, six are currently occupied. In a statement, TCS has said, "Another tenant in the building that houses the TCS training facility at Ambattur, Chennai received a call threatening the safety of the facility on Friday morning. As the safety of our employees is paramount, we have evacuated all TCS trainees and faculty from the location in an orderly manner. The police and their specialist teams have taken control of the facility and are conducting their investigations into the incident. This incident will not have any impact on our business operations in Chennai as the facility was a training facility."
The police says it has leads on who made the hoax call.
