June 29th, 2010 - 11:58 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, June 29 (IANS) In the wake of a fresh intelligence alert about the possibility of terror attacks on Indians in Bangladesh, New Delhi has taken up the issue with Dhaka and plans to soon review the security of its mission there.
India has taken up the issue with the Sheikh Hasina government, which has assured full assistance, sources said.
The threat perception has been communicated and steps will be taken to beef up security at these missions, added the sources.
In the meantime, the government is reviewing the security of its missions in Dhaka and Dhaka may decide to use security forces to guard its missions.
Local police guard the high commission in Dhaka and the consulates in Chittagong and Rajshahi.
Intelligence agencies have alerted that Pakistani terror outfits like Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami (HuJi) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) are planning to attack Indians working on various projects in Bangladesh, sources said. They fear a similar plan against the Indian mission and Indians in Kathmandu.
India and Bangladesh signed three pacts aimed at expanding security and counter-terror cooperation during Sheikh Hasina’s visit to New Delhi early this year.
