New Delhi, February 18: Security in the national capital was stepped up on Monday after police received intelligence inputs about militant outfits planning terror strike in the city.

"We received an input that some militant outfits are planning to create terror in the national capital by targeting some prominent locations and based on that we have taken necessary security precautions," Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Karnal Singh said.

The input was of general nature but police has stepped up security in Delhi so as not to take any chance, Singh said.

Following the intelligence warning, Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal has issued orders for mounting vigil at all major markets and other crowded places, including malls, railway stations, Delhi Metro and bus stands.

Police presence at these places has been increased, a senior police official said, adding patrolling has also been stepped up.

"There is nothing to panic. Personnel have been alerted. We are keeping a close watch," the official said.

Vigil has also been increased on Delhi's entry points, with Delhi Police officials maintaining a close coordination with their counterparts of neighbouring states.

A close watch is also being kept at cyber cafes and their owners have been asked to maintain a list of their customers along with server logs, the official said, adding that dealers providing mobile phone connections have been asked to maintain a list of their customers.

Last month, police had received inputs that some Kashmir- based militant outfit was planning to blow up Akshardham temple in east Delhi.

Love is better than hatered, but not at the cost of life. by MiaAkthar Bahadur on 19 Feb 2008

It really makes me scared to see so much of hatered just floating in air. When the terrorists will (hope not) strike, they will not see who they are going to kill, how far the blast will go on to kill, and whether it will kill Muslims or Hindus, or others, as many can not be recognised by their dresses or faces. I have only one request to the terrorists (if they care for) that if they are going to attack for sure, and if they are going to succeed in pressing those triggers or buttons, then please bring your entire family with yourself, including your elders, sisters, young children, wifes and mothers; so that they can go to heaven with all the fanfare and media hype. It is guaranteed that the nation will pay equal respect and homage to them, as the others.

India must speak the language these guys understand by B. B. Goel on 19 Feb 2008

That’s the problem when we tolerate religious fundamentalism. USA and West learned the language these Islamic terrorists understand and started speaking that language only while talking to them. But we miserably failed to even understand that, leave alone talking. Chanting the mantra of peace NEVER guarantee peace unless the other person understands that language. When we deal with mad dogs, either we kill it or treat it on the basic of the disease.

Islam is a peaceful religion by Dr. Krishna on 19 Feb 2008

Islam is a peaceful religion: really? Immediate jihad is waged if you doubt it. Muhammad is a messenger of God? Draconian punishment will be awarded if you doubt it. Islam respect women? We whip them if they doubt it. Islam respect other religions? We kill them, they are infidels. Muslims are loyal to the country where they live in? We break the country if we are large enough in number (and so we produce 20 children per woman), sometimes we also send our sons to liberate our brothers and sometimes invite foreign muslim brothers to liberate us. Muslims are suppressed in non-muslim countries? We don't suppress others, we have cleansed them long ago. Muslims don't get jobs? We don't get jobs even we are so learned, even when we are Hafiz (memorized kuran by heart). Muslims integrate with locals? What is the problem if we wear hanging Pyjamas even in Alaska (muslims in arabia were used to wear Pyjamas enough above the ankle in order to avoid tearing at the bottom due to friction with the sand) . Muslims are hated by others? We don't hate others, allah hate them. World evaluates you by your behavior, not by your name. Please correct your behavior first.

Truth hurts-Nice post by B. B. Goel on 19 Feb 2008

Great post. I hope people understand that we need to use force when needed. Chanting the mantra of peace never guarantee peace but force sometimes does, particularly when dealing with mad dogs.

Intelligence report, Congress will terrorise India by Vidhur on 18 Feb 2008

We got reliable information from the Intelligence branches, Congress party and its govt will terrorise India and Indians to win the coming assembly and loksbha elections. And don't blame Manmohan, that cunning man enjoying the gaddi and doing what is needed to keep Italian Raj on India. These news created just to show that, they care about security. Congress is the mother of terror facilitating organization in India. Congress removed POTA to facilitate terrorists, Congress trying to find ways to release Afzal Guru. Terrorist Sohrabuddin death was very painful to Congress, as Congress tried to label all Gujaratis as terrorists. Don't fall into traps of these rubbish news, they are to create artifical scare and show that Congress is the only saviour. Congress will soon start Terror subsidy, with that all terrorists will get govt funding.

Power lust upa by Indi on 18 Feb 2008

When a fanatic govt is in power and where there is a PM who loses sleep when terrorists are interrogated, and when sonia khan is remote controlling upa, what can one expect in such a country. God please save India and innocent Indians. This anti Indian govt is a piece of junk and cannot save its citizens for the lust of power and for want of wooing there vote banks. Saver of afzal, upa govt is for anti Indians and congress and the party of its like were never for India, and will never be for India. It is here to satisfy there lust for power.
