beefed up at Delhi Metro Rail after blasts on Diwali eve
New
Delhi: Authorities have beefed up the security on the Capital's
Metro Rail infrastructure after serial blasts killed 60 people
in Delhi on Diwali eve. Officials said that keeping in view
the threat scenario, security has been beefed up across all
the sections of the Metro network. The Delhi Metro, unlike the
Kolkata Metro, which runs subterranean along its entire course,
criss-crosses Delhi in three distinct lines through a grid of
underground tunnels and overhead viaducts.
Three
blasts rocked Delhi within a span of one hour, leaving behind
as many as 60 people killed and an equal number wounded. A state
of Red Alert has been declared in the city and authorities have
deployed additional forces and are conducting searches at busy
market places, shopping malls and hotels in the city and NCR.
Security has been beefed up in Jammu and Kashmir and Mumbai,
the two places that have faced the ravages of bomb blast and
militant attacks over the past 16 years. A state of high alert
has also been declared in Chennai, Chandigarh, Haryana and Andhra
Pradesh. A shocked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been briefed
about the situation and has asked the nation not to panic. The
Union Home Ministry has also summoned an emergency meeting for
dealing with the crisis.
