Centre rushes NSG commandos

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday condemned the terror attacks in Mumbai and assured Maharashtra of all help to cope with the situation, even as the Centre dispatched National Security Guard commandos to supplement the efforts being made by the local police and the CRPF. The Prime Minister’s Office said Dr. Singh was in touch with Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and was monitoring the situation.

Mr. Deshmukh also said he was in touch with the Centre. He said he had talked to Home Minister Shivraj Patil, who assured him that the Centre would provide all the assistance required by Maharashtra. Sources said leader of the Opposition L.K. Advani called up Dr. Singh twice to ascertain details of the terror strikes.

Dr. Singh said the security apparatus had been pressed into service to deal with the situation. The BJP leader said the incidents demonstrated how grave the situation was in the country and there was deterioration with each passing day. Mr. Advani asked the people to remain united at this time of emergency. — PTI
