Delhi on high alert after inputs about possible terror strike

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police have been put on high alert following intelligence inputs that a group of 20- 21 Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists has entered the country to carry out attacks. The Delhi Police Special Cell has issued an advisory alerting its district, metro police and railway police units, asking them to step up security in market areas, religious places, malls and metro and railway stations. The advisory has asked various police units to maintain utmost vigil and keep a “sharp eye for suspected persons/ articles and vehicles” and conduct proper frisking and checking of vehicles and persons. This advisory comes close on the heels of terror attacks in Manchester in the UK and several other places across the world. Police sources say it is suspected that the group members might be putting up in Delhi, Mumbai, Rajasthan or Punjab. (AGENCIES)
