NEW DELHI: Security was Thursday strengthened across the country in the wake of a series of terror attacks in Mumbai.
Intensified checkings and patrolling were being carried out at bus terminals, railway stations, airport, cinema halls and other public places.
Hotel authorities were also asked to step up security at their establishments.
In the national capital that witnessed a serial blast in September, policemen have been deployed in full strength.
The city is going to polls in the next 48 hours.
"Our men have been briefed about the situation. We have strengthened the security by having maximum deployment. Checkings are being conducted at public places," a senior
Delhi Police official said.
Leaving nothing to chance, security has also been stepped up at railway and Metro stations, inter-state bus terminals, airport, cinema halls, shopping malls and other sensitive points, he said.
Police personnel were deployed across Tamil Nadu at places, including hotels and places of worship, where people congregate.
A meeting of top police officials of the state was held last night.
In Kerala, security has been strengthened across the state, especially at Sabarimala temple where thousands of devotees are pouring in, as the annual pilgrimage is on.
Authorities beefed up vigilance at all levels in Pune as terrorists struck ten places in south Mumbai which led to closure of many schools Thursday.
Joint Commissioner of Police, Pune Rajendra Sonavne appealed to citizens to ignore rumours and go about their daily chores without reservations.
However, the terror strikes had a little impact on the normal life of this satellite city which has emerged as one of the centres of suspected terrorist activity in various forms.
Police had stepped up patrolling throughout the city covering important junctions as well as five-star hotels.
An alert has been sounded in Andhra Pradesh, too, where security has been tightened at all vital institutions and famous temples, besides railway and bus stations, police said.
A Red alert has been issued in Karnataka as well.
