Airports put on high alert
New Delhi: In the wake of India's recent military surgical strikes at terror launch pads in PoK, sources in the security establishment said they are expecting a major retaliation by the Pakistan Army and Pakistan-based terror groups in the form of a covert operation either at the LoC, in the hinterland of the Kashmir Valley or even against Indian missions in Afghanistan.
The Government has also beefed up the security at airports across the country following inputs that Pakistan-based terror groups may try to carry out a big strike to grab global attention and put the Indian Government on the defensive.
According to TV reports, Indian Intelligence agencies have warned of a possible terror attack at 24 airports across the country, including in Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan and JJ&K.
According to these reports, the airports have been sent detailed warnings and authorities have confirmed high security measures are being implemented.
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has also written to the state police chiefs, the CISF or paramilitary force which guards airports, as well as to state-run and private airlines alerting them to the security threat.
