Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday said that there was credible information that terrorist groups based in Pakistan were planning to carry out fresh attacks in India. He advocated the need for utmost vigilance.

“There is credible information of ongoing plans of terrorist groups in Pakistan to carry out fresh attacks,” the Prime Minister said addressing the Conference of Chief Ministers in New Delhi.

Dr Singh said cross-border terrorism remained a “most pervasive” threat. Top on the government’s agenda, he said, were steps to enhance the capability of security forces to meet any challenges – terrorist threats or attacks.

The prime minister said a well-calibrated coastal security scheme was also being put in place.

“After Mumbai attacks, we have put in place additional measures. There is need for continued utmost vigilance,” Singh said, stressing that India needed to do more and would do more.

Referring to Naxal problems within, the prime minister said the Left wing extremism too was a serious challenge.
