Bhubaneswar, Dec 1: The Odisha Police and Commissionerate of Police are combinedly on the toes on Sunday following a threat message received from Khalistani extremist Pannun.
The security blanket which was in place before the PM Modi and UHM Amit Shah’s Odisha visit is still intensified in Bhubaneswar City, in order to deal with all odds.
Apart from the essential SOPs for the VVIPs, night patrolling with strategic blocking and checking were beefed up in line with the central forces and intelligence teams, said Commissionerate Police sources.
Especially, the Biju Patnaik International Airport has been put under sharp security scanner to prevent strangers, outsiders and suspicious persons arriving in Bhubaneswar, added a security official.
According to Odisha Police Headquarters, security checkpoints, blockades, and vehicular inspections are underway in the city to rule out the access of any unsocial elements.
Worth mentioning, US-based Khalistani extremist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun had threatened to disrupt the ongoing three-day DGP-IGP conference in Bhubaneswar on Saturday.
Pannun reportedly sent an audio message and an email threatening disruption in the DGPs’ meet, that is underway here.
