Major terror alert after reconnaissance in Kashmir and Delhi, RDX threat suspected
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Security agencies have received intelligence inputs indicating that terrorist groups may be planning major attacks in India, with several religious places, VIP locations and security establishments reportedly on their radar from Kashmir to Delhi. Alerts received during February suggest that a possible attack planned earlier in the month was prevented, but agencies believe the threat still persists and vigilance has been intensified across sensitive areas.
According to the inputs, terrorist activities have reportedly increased in recent weeks, with networks suspected to be operating through routes linked to Pakistan and Bangladesh. Intelligence agencies have indicated that operatives associated with groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed may be attempting to carry out attacks in Jammu and Kashmir as well as in Delhi. Reports suggest that explosives including RDX and improvised explosive devices could be used, and infiltration attempts by militants have also been indicated.
Specific alerts mention possible reconnaissance activities near key routes and strategic locations in Jammu and Kashmir, including tunnels and highways that could be targeted to disrupt security movement. Intelligence inputs have also warned of potential attempts to target crowded areas in major cities. Security agencies remain on high alert and are closely monitoring developments to prevent any possible attack.
