The security at religious places in Ayodhya, Varanasi and Mathura will be enhanced following intelligence inputs of possible terror attacks. The decision was taken at a meeting in New Delhi today chaired by Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami. CRPF, which is guarding the religious sites, has been asked to deploy more forces and remain alert round-the-clock to foil any possible attempt by terrorists to attack these sites.

The meeting was attended by DGP of CRPF Dilip Trivedi, Uttar Pradesh DGP A L Banerjee, Principal Secretary (Home) Deepak Singh Singhal among others. Ayodhya and Varanasi had witnessed terror attacks in the past.
