Please be "vigilant"

Delhi and its satellite towns of Noida and Gurgaon have been put on high alert after security agencies received a "credible" input that Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayyeba (LeT) has planned to carry out serial bomb blasts in the region.
Highly placed sources told Mail Today that the input came from the military Intelligence which was tracking some Lashkar modules.
The information was discussed on Friday at a special meeting of the Multi Agency Centre (MAC) - an umbrella group set up in the home ministry to share and analyse sensitive intelligence information. The sources said the meeting was attended by top officials of central intelligence agencies, military Intelligence and the Delhi Police.
According to the input, a fourmember Lashkar module led by a commander, identified as Manzoor, has sneaked into the Capital to trigger the blasts. It also mentioned that a consignment of explosives has been dispatched for the National Capital Region (NCR) from Ahmedabad, the sources said.
The central intelligence agencies are in touch with the Gujarat Police as well as senior police officials of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to gather more information.
Following the sensitive input, plain clothes spotters have been deployed at key locations, and security has been heightened in and around the Capital, the sources said.
The input is crucial as it comes ahead of a meeting of the foreign ministers of India and Pakistan in Islamabad from September 7-9.
Officials say there is often a pattern to planning such attacks.
Last week, Mail Today had reported an intelligence alert sent by India's external intelligence agency, R& AW, on LeT's plans, assisted by the Pakistan's ISI, to mount suicide attacks in the country.
The report provided an account of a recent meeting between senior ISI officials and Lashkar commanders - Allah Noor and Khan Haji - at the behest of 26/ 11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed. The report, according to intelligence sources, was corroborated by a Western intelligence agency.
LeT module believed to be in Delhi to mount bomb attacks, according to intelligence agencies.
Security stepped up in and around the Capital
