Kendrapara, Jan 20: A disturbing social media post threatening to bomb the 400-year-old Baldev Jew Temple at Ichhapur in Kendrapara has caused widespread panic and outrage among devotees. The post, made by an individual using a fake name, has led to a rapid response from law enforcement agencies.

In light of the threat, members of the Baldev Jena group submitted a memorandum to the Kendrapara Superintendent of Police, urging immediate action against the individual behind the threat.
