Security beefed up; entry points sealed

quot;We have received intelligence inputs that militants are planning strikes in the City. Since a lot of temples today are crowded, these are being viewed as the most vulnerable points, particularly because the Jamp;K militants have been pumped in from across the border to create disturbances and it suits them very well to strike at temples,quot; an official said.

The checking outside temples will carry on till the wee hours of Saturday morning, sources said. Anti-sabotage checks have also been carried out in all religious places, venues for various functions to be held tomorrow and armed spotters of the Chandigarh Police have been deployed at public places, sources add. Additional forces from the MPSAF and IRB have been deployed in various parts of the City, sources said.
