Security has been stepped-up in Mysuru in the wake of the blast in Bengaluru on Sunday night, which claimed one life and injured three others.
City Police Commissioner, M.A. Saleem said police have begun anti-sabotage operations at bus stands, railway stations, major roads, shopping complexes and places of tourist importance.
While additional security forces drawn from Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) and City Armed Reserve (CAR) have been deployed at bus stations and railway stations, Mr. Saleem said the City police proposes to cover all public places in the City with anti-sabotage operations by New Year’s eve.
To a question, he said there is no re-thinking on the part of the police to review the deadline for New Year revelry, which had been fixed for 1 a.m. on January 1.
