TN-2ND LD ALERT
TN on alert after intel about intrusion of Lashkar terrorists
(Eds: Adds fresh inputs, combines related story)
Coimbatore/Chennai, Aug 23 (PTI) Security has been
beefed up across Tamil Nadu following intelligence inputs that
members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba have infiltrated into the
state, police said on Friday.
Coimbatore Police Commissioner Sumit Sharan said the
city was under a high alert following information that the
terrorists were heading there.
The Indian Air Force station at Sulur on the city
outskirts has been brought under tight security cover.
Vehicle screening has been intensified in the vicinity
and security checks were conducted at the key facility under
the supervision of West Zone IG K Periaiah and District
Superintendent of Police Sujit Kumar, police said.
An alert has been sounded in neighbouring Kerala also
with police officials mounting an intensified vigil.
Officials in Chennai said security had been beefed up in
the state following reports that six members of the terror
outfit LeT infiltrated into the state by sea from Sri Lanka
and moved to different cities.
Security has been stepped up at many places, including
airports, railway stations, bus stands and places of worship
across the state. An alert has been sounded especially in
coastal districts to prevent any further possible intrusion,
the police said.
Kerala DGP Loknath Behera on Friday directed district
police chiefs to keep utmost vigil across the state, an
official release said in Thiruvananthapuram.
Chennai Police Commissioner A K Viswanathan said
"storming operations" were underway as part of precautionary
steps.
In Coimbatore district, more than 25 check posts have
been set up.
Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad was carrying out a
thorough check in a leading mall in R S Puram locality in
Coimbatore since Friday morning, police said.
Sharan said ten quick response teams have been kept at
strategic places in Coimbatore to meet any eventuality.
"We have put arrangements at all the shopping malls,
important temples and all important installations. We have
also informed the Army and the Air Force to alert their
defences," he told reporters.
The city and its surroundings have come under a tight
security cover, with over 2,000 police personnel being
deployed, and vehicle check and such checking points enhanced,
the police commissioner said. "As of a now, a general red
alert is maintained."
Sharan said the police had not released any photographs
of any suspects so far as was being telecast in some TV
channels, but said searches were on based on information and
the description of the suspects.
When pointed out that the developments come close on the
heels of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) action in the
city, he said: "There is no need for panic, for worry. What
the NIA did was a separate operation (and) this is a separate
issue."
         The NIA had in June arrested Mohammed Azarudeen, the
alleged head of the ISIS Tamil Nadu module who was a Facebook
friend of Zahran Hashim, one of the suicide bombers in the
Easter Sunday terror attacks in Sri Lanka in April.
In 1998, Coimbatore was rocked by serial bomb blasts
coinciding with the visit of BJP leader L K Advani to the
industrial city, leaving 58 people dead and over 200 injured.
          Viswanathan told reporters that the police were
taking all precautionary measures to avert any untoward
incident. "An alert has been received regarding infiltration
of terrorists in Tamil Nadu.... Storming operations are on to
ensure no untoward incident happens," the Chennai police chief
said.
          Police said vehicle audit had been intensified in and
around the city.
          Though the identity or the nationality of the
intruders were yet to be ascertained, sources said one person
belonged to Pakistan.
          Security has also been beefed up in the temple town
of Rameswaram, police said, adding that vital installations
and places of worship were being monitored.
          The entire coastal stretch in Nagapattinam district
has been brought under tight vigil. The Shrine Basilica at
Vailankanni, a famous Christian pilgrim centre, has been
provided with additional security cover, the police said. PTI
