Intelligence agencies have warned of a possible terror attack at 22 airports in four states as well as Delhi. Authorities have confirmed high security measures are being implemented.
Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat – all border states – have, like Delhi, been marked for careful vigil. The Civil Aviation Security Bureau has also written to the police chiefs in each state, the CISF or paramilitary force which guards airports, as well as to state-run and private airlines alerting them to the security threat.
