"This (report about terrorists carrying out possible aerial attacks) is based on a warning, which has been received (by the government) and we are prepared as usual," Major told reporters after laying a wreath at Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate on the occasion of Navy Day.
He said the issue was discussed during the meeting of three service chiefs with Defence Minister A K Antony on Wednesday at South Block.
"The issue was discussed in yesterday's meeting," he said.
After receiving inputs from intelligence agencies about possible aerial strikes by terrorists, airports in Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai were put on high alert last night as the reports suggested that terrorists could have sneaked into India to carry out strikes on the anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid.
Defence Minister A K Antony had also warned the armed forces about the possibility of terror attacks from airborne platforms similar to the 9/11 attacks in the US.
In the meeting, Antony called for greater coordination among security and intelligence agencies so as to make the intelligence inputs actionable.
Antony wanted tightening of vigil along India's coastal, land and aerial frontiers to prevent terror attacks in future.

What is happning?? Why is the govt revealing all this?? Shouldnt such sensitive warnings be secret becuasea. It further adds to the sense of panic and terrorb. You dont reveal to your enemy that you now what he is going to do! You capture him red-handed!
Can we morally criticise a gvt?Aren't we as fundamentalist ?That's why vote bank exist!!!!After these attacks we should start thinking as Indians, and let down all our differences.We should learn from the freedom generation how to co-exist and sort -out our division problem. This is the chakravyu we must come out. And India will be the power we desire.

Don't get carroed away basis many of the information could be to mislead the forces if the latest incident is anything to go by. All the airports and seaports should be put under alert since we can no longer expect an easy ride. There are so many anti-national elements within the country itself, thanks to our great politicians.
Yeah thanks a lot to the BJP for dividing the society so deeply and creating so many anti nationals. All these hate crimes based on religion and region came into existence due to the vote bank politics of BJP which started with the Rath Yathra and demolition of Babri Masjid which other wise is supposed to be historical monument. The damage that they have done to the Indian society is very very deep. Thanks a Lot Advaniji. God save our country from all terrorists and their sympathizers and promoters.
thanks to UPA/Congress: i think the whole country is divided due to the appeasements of UPA/Congress = and definitely not from BJP !!! We hindus will stay in our own country= let others go away from our country!
Mr.IE reader, even when there was no BJP, since 60 yrs, terror attacks occured in india. to day it is advaniji as you are pointing. can you point who was then ?. stop pointing fingures and change the indoctrinated mindset of a jihadi muslim
