Pakistan's ISI Planned Terror Attacks in India: Delhi Temple, Murthal Dhaba Among Targets
In a major security revelation, intelligence inputs have indicated that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was plotting terror attacks in India, with prominent locations such as a historic temple in Delhi and the famous Murthal dhaba in Haryana being among the potential targets. Security agencies across the country have been put on high alert following this information.
Details of the Plot
According to sources, the ISI had allegedly planned to carry out coordinated attacks to disrupt peace and communal harmony in India. The historic temple in Delhi, which sees a large number of devotees daily, and the Murthal dhaba, a popular eatery on the Delhi-Chandigarh highway, were identified as soft targets. The plot is believed to have been in an advanced stage of planning before being intercepted by Indian intelligence agencies.
Security Measures Intensified
In response to the threat, security has been beefed up at these locations and other sensitive sites. Police and paramilitary forces have been deployed in large numbers, and surveillance has been increased. The Delhi Police have issued a high alert and are conducting routine checks and patrols. Similarly, Haryana Police have stepped up security around Murthal and other highway dhabas.
Government Response
The Ministry of Home Affairs has taken cognizance of the inputs and directed all states and Union Territories to remain vigilant. Officials have emphasized the need for proactive intelligence sharing and community policing to thwart any nefarious designs. The government has also urged citizens to report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
Historical Context
This is not the first time that ISI's involvement in terror activities in India has been alleged. In the past, several attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the 2016 Pathankot attack, were linked to elements backed by the ISI. The latest plot underscores the persistent threat posed by cross-border terrorism.
Public Advisory
The public has been advised to remain calm and cooperate with security forces. Avoid spreading unverified information and rely only on official communications. The authorities have assured that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safety of citizens.
