New Delhi, Mar 7 (IBNS) A multi-city alert has been sounded by Indian security agencies on Monday after receiving information that 10 terrorists may have crossed over to India from Pakistan, according to media reports.
Apart from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, the alert has also been sounded for two-tier cities such as Jaipur, Lucknow, Bhopal and Vijaywada; security at important installations, airports and ports have also been hiked up as security experts believe the terrorists can mount multiple attacks simultaneously, reported NDTV.
