Pak terror attacks frighten Ind, N-plants on tight vigil

New Delhi, May 31: It seems that terror attacks in Pakistani military base frightened the Indian government. All vital installations, including nuclear stations, oil refineries and military bases, across the country have come under tight vigil as the government ordered security audit.

Citing the terrorist attack on the naval base in neighbouring Pakistan, India held a high level home secretariat meeting led by Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram. The security audit was ordered soon after the meeting.

A joint-team of Intelligence Bureau and local security heads will survey and assess the level of security of the vital installations, sources informed.

All nuclear plants, ISRO installations, oil refineries and airports will be covered in the audit. Any gaps in the security, if found, will be identified and plugged while Quick Reaction Teams are to be formed wherever they do not exist.

"All states and security forces have also been asked to intensify vigil around the vital installations and military camps and foil any attempt by militants to disturb peace," an official said.

Additional forces will also be deployed in public and religious places to prevent any sabotage attempt, the official said.
