Alert against ISI attacks on R-Day

An alert has been sounded against Inter Service Intelligence-sponsored militants entering Uttar Pradesh via Haryana, through the Delhi-Wagah border Samjhauta Express, to strike at the national capital and other places on the eve of Republic Day.

According to sources in Ambala, the Centre and the Haryana government have intelligence reports that after striking at the Red Fort in Delhi, the Jammu and Kashmir militants may strike again.

The Pak-trained militants may find a convenient means of transport to places around the capital in the train. They can board the train in the garb of passengers and alight at Ambala Cantonment or Panipat, from where they can take a bus to areas in Uttar Pradesh that borders Delhi.

Most passengers in the express belonging to western Uttar Pradesh alight at Ambala, from where they board buses to their destinations.

The subversive elements on reaching UP could set up secret shelter places, from where they could operate in and around the capital.

After the attack on the Red Fort Delhi by the Lashker-e-Tayiba, Pakistanis seeking entry into India through the express are being kept under strict watch.

Till now such Pakistanis were not kept under watch after registration at their destination.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs I D Swamy, during a recent visit to Haryana, had expressed apprehensions regarding security arrangements.

The Haryana Railway Police has now beefed up security to nab anti-nationals travelling in trains, especially by the Samjhauta Express.

GRP superintendent of police Sudhir Mohan said that special guards had been deployed in trains to keep a watch on suspicious persons.

Mohan said that since trains were the easiest mode of operation for anti-socials and anti-nationals, the GRP had set up anti-sabotage groups, which will be deployed on trains.
