Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel will be keeping a tight vigil on Republic Day in the national capital with an eye on the movement of animals in view of intelligence inputs that terror groups might use them as suicide bombers. Delhi Police was sent a special advisory informing them that terror groups might use animals to target crowded areas like important installations, railway stations, etc, to create a panic situation. While the Delhi Police was earlier issued an advisory stating that terror groups might use new techniques, today they received a special advisory warning of this kind of an attack. The entire Central and New Delhi region will have nearly 60,000 security personnel drawn from Delhi Police and Central security forces guarding every nook and corner. Apart from this, security personnel will be stationed atop tall buildings with anti-aircraft guns.
