A general alert has been sounded in the Capital in the wake of inputs from the Intelligence Bureau warning of a possible terrorist strike in the next two weeks.
The agency has tipped off the Delhi police about information that terrorist outfits may carry out an attack in the city in the coming night, mainly at market places and crowded areas.
Though the input is not “specific”, as it does not identify conspirators, the police are not taking it lightly. The entire force has been put on alert and beat staffers have been directed to keep a close watch on suspicious activities.
As part of the drill, owners of cyber cafes, vehicle and property dealers have been directed to inform the police about any suspicious-looking person they come across in their areas.
“The force was already on alert in view of the recent serial blasts in the Uttar Pradesh courts,” said a senior police officer.
Security for the Delhi Metro, high on the target list of the terrorist outfits, has also been strengthened.
