The letter was received on Friday after which the authorities lodged a complaint with the nearby police station, a police official told IANS.
As a precaution and to ensure safety security has been beefed up at the Ambala station, he added.

The air base is surrounded by villages, including Dhulkot, Baldev Nagar, Garnala and Panjokhara and the National Highway 1-A.
