Jama Masjid firing: Suresh Kalmadi discusses security with YS Dadwal

Against the backdrop of the firing incident near Jama Masjid in New Delhi, Commonwealth Games organising committee chief Suresh Kalmadi today met police commissioner YS Dadwal and discussed security-related issues.

Kalmadi drove to the Delhi police headquarters and held talks with the police chief as several countries expressed concern over the security situation following yesterday's incident.

The Commonwealth Games will be held in the city from October 3. After the incident, Kalmadi had said he has spoken to many Commonwealth countries and "nobody was worried".

Two unidentified motorcycle-borne attackers yesterday shot and injured two Taiwanese nationals outside the Jama Masjid in the capital which was followed by a crude pressure cooker bomb blast in a car in the same area.

US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have issued travel advisories to its citizens warning them against a high risk of terror attack ahead of the Commonwealth Games next month.

Home minister P Chidambaram held a meeting with senior police officials at the police headquarters yesterday and reviewed the security situation following the incident.
