Udumula Sudhakar Reddy Security has been tightened at the Sardar Vallabhbhai National Police Academy, the premiere training institute for IPS officers, after intelligence reports that it was likely to be targeted by terror groups.
Armed guards have been posted on the top of the academy building following the unravelling of a terror plot to attack National Defence College in New Delhi. Sources in the Intelligence Bureau said that the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba was plotting to target police and army colleges in the country. The Union home minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, who was here to attend the passing-out parade of IPS officers, however, refused to disclose to mediapersons whether there were any possible targets in Hyder- abad.
"IPS officers are protecting the nation so they have to be protected. NPA must be a secured place and IPS officers should be protected well," he said. "We are going to strengthen the CISF securi ty."
Sources in Cyberabad police commissionerate said that patrolling and frisking operations had been intensified around the NPA in Shivarampally after they received an alert.
"Top people who visit the academy will be vulnerable in normal security and so we will increase the CISF guards," said the National Industrial Security Acade my director, Mr Anurag Sharma.
Officials said that the Army and Air Force were also asked to beef up secu rity in their training insti tutes located at Dundigal, Hakimpet and other parts of the city.
