10 terrorists enter Gujarat |
Indian state of Gujarat was put on a state of high alert on March 5 following an intelligence input from Pakistan`s National Security Adviser (NSA) Nasir Khan Janjua to his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval that 10 terrorists had entered the state to carry out strikes. Intelligence agencies believe this infiltration is aimed at creating disturbances on or around Shivaratri which falls on March 7. Pakistan`s NSA has informed that these are fidayeen from the Lashkar-E-Taiba and Jaish-eMuhammed cadres. Following Doval`s communication to Gujarat, security has been stepped up at sensitive installations, places of worship and public places. This is the first time that Pakistan has shared such specific intelligence. All security agencies in Gujarat have been placed on a state of high alert and despatched to specific locations which are vulnerable. The state director general of police P C Thakur convened an emergency meeting on the issue and alerts were sounded off in all major cities and districts.
