| High Alert Everywhere | | | Early Times Report Jammu | Sept 13
As is routine after the event, a nation-wide alert has been sounded and security tightened across the national capital with police personnel fanning out in large numbers to railway and Metro stations, hospitals, bus terminals and airport. Gun-toting security personnel were deployed at sensitive points after six explosions in a span of 45 minutes ripped through the city. Barricades were put up at several places to regulate traffic. There was chaos on the roads as people who were outside rushed back home following the blasts. Security was stepped up at railway and Metro stations, inter-state bus terminals, airport, cinema halls, shopping malls and other sensitive points. Several major city markets, including the popular Sarojini Nagar Market which was targeted in the previous Diwali-eve blasts in 2006, were shut down and evacuated. Security has been tightened at all the Metro stations, which are already under red-alert and hence security has always been the priority. Extra personnel have been pressed into service to keep a vigil on the commuters. Mobile services were jammed in Connaught Place and Ghaffar Market area, the sites of three of the explosions. Extra personnel have been deployed at religious places, besides keeping an extra vigil on the borders. Police have asked cyber cafe owners and dealers to be on alert and keep a tab on their customers. |
