Nagpur cops on ‘alert’ for I-Day

Nagpur: City police started throwing security blanket across the city on Saturday with special vigilance at the entry and exit points for Independence Day security.
City police chief Amitesh Kumar said there was no specific input of any threat but cops would remain on general alertness. Checking at the nakabandi points across the city along with anti-sabotage surveillance have been stepped up. Vigilance at the CCTV command-and-control room too has been increased.
Sources said police are keeping a tight watch on political movements, especially the pro-Vidarbha agitation.
Lodges, hotels, bus stands, places of public interest and sensitive locations have been brought under security surveillance. Railway security too has been slipped into high alert mode with anti-sabotage checks.
The airport is also under special security watch, with CISF on high alert mode.
