Strengthening security and safety in Bengaluru will remain the top priority in view of many important establishments functioning in the city, said the new Bengaluru police Commissioner Kamal Pant on Saturday.

The new commissioner told reporters that he was aware of the challenges before him as the city had witnessed serial blasts in the past.
"We are alert and our action against the criminals will continue," Mr Pant said.
