Sources in the Home Ministry said on Monday that all the state governments having nuclear plants have been asked to step up patrolling and vigil around the facilities as a precautionary measures.
They said that Headley, accused of plotting terror attacks in India on behalf of Pakistan-based LeT, had visited Gujarat, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh - all having crucial nuclear installations - raising suspicion that nuclear facilities could be on the radar of the terrorists.
"The step is precautionary in nature. The states have been asked to increase the vigil and patrolling to thwart any sabotage attempt aimed at these vital facilities," a Home Ministry official said.
There are six major nuclear energy plants operational in the country- Narora in Uttar Pardesh, Kaiga in Karnataka, Tarapur in Maharashtra, Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu, Kakrapar in Gujarat and Kota in Rajasthan, besides several other research and development centres like Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Trombay.

All these problems are arrising due to non-unity among indian states there are differences based on religion, caste, colour, region,poltics,language, jobs, rich, poor I mean u name it we have it...So fellow nationals lets show the world that no one can take advantage from our in house diffences and together we can kick these radicals out of our country in such a harsh way that even there generations will not dare to think about dividing india. Every one of us wether a common man poor rich industrialist, media, young, old, men, women, children, hindu sikhs, muslims, or belongs to any other religion, state living in india must take responsibile steps in our daily living which will benefit our nations pride.
BY GIVING US HADLEY AMERICA IS TRYING TO DIVERT THE ISSUE, BY ACCEPTING RESPONSIBITY FOR ALL THE TERRORISM AROUND THE WORLD CARRYOUT SINCE LAST 50 YEARS. THIS CRIMINAL ALWAYS THINK THEY ARE SUPERIOR THAN ALL OTHERS. BUT WHO COULD GO AGAINST AMERICA. RAJESH DHARIA
Dear Sir, This is very difficult for any terrorist group or unauthorised person to reach within the sorrounding area of 2 miles of any nuclear plant. So all these national assets are in all nuclear states within their control. Only the authorised code permits to reach at target.nuclear installations always remains alert .No sleep or slip word is existing in these red zone areas.
Certain radical changes are essential in India's democratic set up to ensure safety of our strategic assets, although such measures may not be prevalent in other democratic countries. Let us think ourselves. A policeman with a stick in his hand cannot protect establishments like BARC, ISRO, DRDO etc. India must keep the Home Ministry away from this task as this ministry has frequently and amply proved their inability to undertake such tasks. Indian Parliament, Supreme Court, State Secretariats, High Courts, Reserve Bank of India, RAPP, TAPP, MAPP, BARC, ISRO etc. etc. must fall under Military Protection with absolute authority to exercise their duty. Human Rights Watchdogs & Indian Judiciary System must be kept out of the proposed military protection system. Govt. must provide appropriate infrastructures & detention centres for smooth functioning of the system. Terrorists caught in this process must be tried in military courts, and after trial process, sent to civilian jails.
Thanks for the information of the states and the locations in which those facilities are situated. It would have been nice for this news paper to print a map of India and pointed out the locations and provided the areal coordinates of the location for the enemy use. What else is the purpose of publishing newspapers? Indian Express is doing a great job.
You can get satellite images of these instalations, including closeups, from Google at any time. Moreover, terrorists know more about these places than Indian security agencies.
You think ,that this day and age general information is difficult to get ?? Why blame the media for information that is as open as the sky?
Manmohan Singh should initiate talks with Pakis. Sharad Pawar should ensure that Pakistani players play in IPL. Sharad Pawar should also make arrangements to welcome Paki team in Mumbai in case they qualify for World Cup final. All those who are advocating the steps India should take to "Save" Pakistan should be awarded Bharat Ratn. All the various successive leaders of India, irrespective of their hue, who have been warning Pakistan since 1980s first for instigating Khalistan movement and later terrorist activities all over should be awarded bravery awards. They should also be awarded for making ordinary Indians look impotent.
WE GOT ALERT NOW AFTER SO LONG TIME THEY VISITED, AND WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY CAPTURED? WHY DIDN'T EW FIND OUT RIGHT AFTER THEY VISITED? WE HAVE NO CAPACITY TO GET INTELLIGENCE, ANALYZE THEM, EVEN INTEROGATE SUSPECTS. I WONDER WHAT WILL WE DO EVEN AFTER (if) USA HANDS OVER THEM TO US. WE ARE VERY SMART WHENEVER MONIES ARE INVOLVED, OTHERWISE INDIA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING.
What can Headley tell you are already telling in your news. No need to visit the states. just read your news and everybody knows where the nuclear energy plants are
A marathon mystery of "David Headley Chase"? It will take a heavy chase to solve the mystery. A dangerous mystery!. Questioning a Nation's existence.
Besides informing every reader about the locations of all plants and the steps taken for precautionary measures,It would have been nice for the writer to show how to gain access to the sites,and man power in terms of security and how it could be breached.I am not very sure as to who is helping whom.The terrorists being clever or the media providing sensitive information,via such articles which gives even a novice terrorist ideas.
