Republic Day Security Alert: Multiple Cities on High Alert Over Terror Threats
Security agencies have placed Delhi and several other cities across India on high alert ahead of Republic Day celebrations. Intelligence sources have issued warnings about possible threats from Khalistani terrorist organizations and Bangladesh-based terror outfits.
Specific Threats Identified
According to intelligence inputs received by news agencies, these terror groups may attempt to target Delhi and multiple urban centers across the country. The alert comes just days before the nation prepares to celebrate its Republic Day on January 26.
Intelligence agencies have specifically warned that Khalistani terrorist organizations operating from abroad are actively planning potential attacks. Bangladesh-based terror outfits have also been identified as potential threats to national security during this period.
Gangster Networks Being Utilized
Security assessments reveal a concerning development in how these threats are being organized. Intelligence reports indicate that Punjab-based gangsters are increasingly being recruited as foot soldiers by Khalistani handlers operating from foreign countries.
These international handlers are allegedly leveraging local criminal networks to advance their agendas and undermine India's internal security. The strategy involves using established gangster networks to execute plans while maintaining operational distance.
Geographic Spread of Threat
The security alert notes that such gangster networks are active across multiple northern states. These criminal elements have established presence in:
- Haryana
- Delhi-NCR region
- Uttar Pradesh
- Rajasthan
More concerning is the intelligence assessment that these gangsters are gradually establishing operational links with Khalistani terrorist elements. This convergence of criminal networks with terrorist organizations presents a significant security challenge.
Security Measures Being Implemented
Security forces across the identified regions have been placed on heightened alert. Additional security measures are being implemented in Delhi and other vulnerable cities to prevent any potential incidents.
The intelligence warning emphasizes the need for enhanced vigilance during the Republic Day period. Security agencies are coordinating closely to monitor suspicious activities and prevent any security breaches.
Authorities are particularly concerned about the timing of these threats, as Republic Day celebrations typically involve large public gatherings and high-profile events that could be potential targets.
Security experts note that the combination of international terror groups leveraging domestic criminal networks represents an evolving threat pattern that requires sophisticated countermeasures.
