Flaring red signal of possible terror strike, Delhi Police beefs up security putting state on High Alert!

New Delhi, October 3: Receiving intelligence inputs of possible terror strike, the security has been beefed up across Delhi. Moreover, raids are being conducted by the Special Cell of Delhi Police at several locations across the city after the intelligence inputs suggested that three to four members of Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad may have infiltrated into the city.

 

Red signalling, the Delhi Police has kept both domestic and international airports on high alert after receiving the inputs. Along with that it has also intensified patrolling and picketing in several areas across the national capital as the city gears up for Durga Puja and Ramlila to ensure safety and security of people, especially women.

Ever since the abrogation of Article 370 took place taking away special status from Jammu and Kashmir and aligning it with rest of India, the intelligence agencies have been vigilant on all activities. In September, military sources said forces were on high alert following inputs that around 450-500 well-trained terrorists are waiting at terror launch pads to sneak into the Valley as part of Pakistan's design to trigger unrest.

Some of the terrorists waiting to infiltrate into India were trained at the Jaish-e-Mohammad camp in Balakot which was bombed by Indian Air Force in February. The Army had also said it had received inputs on a possible terror attack in south India, adding that some abandoned boats were found recovered from Sir Creek.

Security had been tightened across Tamil Nadu in August following intelligence inputs that members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba had infiltrated into the state. It was suspected that six members of the terror outfit infiltrated into the state by sea from Sri Lanka and moved to different cities, including Coimbatore, police had said.
