The alert, which has been given to all Special Commissioners of Police and Joint Commissioners of Police of all ranges by the Central Intelligence Agencies, has also asked the force to remain in close contact with the State Intelligence Agencies on any development of terrorist activities so that precautionary and preventive measures can be taken to thwart any such attempt by the adversaries.

A senior police official said, “Sentries and guards manning sensitive building, establishments and the residential houses of IPS and IAS officers have been ordered to be enhanced and they have been ordered to question anyone entering the premises and also to report daily activities to the higher authorities.”
