Rajnath Singh discusses security matters with officials

New Delhi, March 7: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday met top officials to discuss important security matters.

The meeting, termed as "routine" by a home ministry official, assumes importance as it was held in the backdrop of Pakistan sharing information with India that 10 terrorists may have slipped into India to carry out terror strikes in Gujarat during Mahashivratri festivities.

"It was a routine meeting where the minister discusses and takes stock of security situation in the country," the official told IANS.

Meanwhile, security was beefed up across Gujarat and in other parts of the country after National Security Adviser Ajit Doval got a call from his Pakistani counterpart Nasir Janjua that 10 terrorists from two Pakistan-based outfits have entered Gujarat.
