NEW DELHI: In the wake of the abduction and killing of engineer K Suryanarayana by the Taliban in Afghanistan, India on Sunday decided to review and strengthen security measures for its nationals working on projects there and told private companies employing Indians to do so as well.

New Delhi asserted that it will "never bow" to acts of terror and its reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan will not stop because of such incidents.

"Several measures have been taken in the past few months to increase the level of security for Indian nationals working on Indian government-aided projects in Afghanistan," Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran told reporters.

He said private companies employing Indians had also been advised to put in place comprehensive security measures.

"These measures would be further reviewed and strengthened," he said.

The special team of senior officials, sent to Afghanistan on Saturday to assist in efforts to seek Suryanarayana's release, has been mandated to make "any further recommendations to the government after consulting the Afghan authorities, our embassy and the companies employing Indian citizens," the foreign secretary said.

About 2,000 Indians are working on various reconstruction and developmental projects in Afghanistan.
