New Delhi: Security agencies are fully alert to foil any attempt by terrorists to disturb peace during the ongoing festival season, the government said on Monday.
"We are fully alert. All the agencies are on alert," Union Home Secretary R K Singh told reporters in New Delhi while replying to a question on the security situation in the country.
Sources said the Home Ministry has directed all state governments to deploy additional security forces in crowded and sensitive places, including markets, religious places, railway stations and bus terminals, which could be targets of militants.
About a fortnight ago, the Delhi Police busted a terror module of Indian Mujahideen by arresting three militants who were planning to target the national capital and Bodhgaya during the festive season.
The sources said there have been intelligence reports that some HUJI militants had sneaked into India through India- Bangladesh border recently to create disturbance during the festival season.
