A meeting of high-level police officers convened by Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala here on Monday decided to strengthen the security measures across the State against the backdrop of alleged Maoist-terrorist threats.
The meeting decided to provide more security for institutions, which face Maoist threats.
Following intelligence report about possible terrorist attack in south India, security will be tightened at important religious places, institutions, and heritage monuments.
