As the government on Friday said it was geared up to handle any possible chemical or biological war, tests on suspicious letters here and in Gwalior so far have not confirmed presence of Anthrax spores. Health ministry sources said all tests conducted on samples of suspected mail in National Institute of Communicable Diseases had shown negative results on presence of Anthrax spores. The observations made by the investigating team have also not indicated any hostile acts of planting of pathogenic organisms, they said adding there was no reason for undue panic. While Director General of Health Services has been keeping a close watch on the situation, the NICD has set up a control room and placed a nodal officer to disseminate information to the public, they said.
