Pune (Maharashtra): The Army has received inputs that there may be a terror attack in the southern part of India, a top army commander said on Monday.
Some abandoned boats have been recovered in the Sir Creek area, Lt Gen S K Saini, GOC-in-C of the Army's Southern Command, told reporters at an event near Pune.
"We have got many inputs that there may be a terrorist attack in the southern part of India and peninsular India," he said.
"We have undertaken measure for capacity building and capability development in the area of Sir Creek keeping in mind the enhanced threat," he said, adding the precautions were being taken to ensure that inimical elements or terrorists do not succeed.
The development comes just a fortnight after reports suggested that Pakistan had deployed SSG commandos along Sir Creek in Gujarat to carry out anti-India activities in the region.
Lt Gen Saini was speaking on the sidelines of the commencement of Phase II infrastructural development at the Army Law College near Kanhe.
Asked about the changing dynamics and threats emanating from a neighbouring country, he said any conflict which is in the sub-conventional domain has got both external and internal dimensions.
"In the case of J&K, the external dimension is much more pronounced than the internal dimension. We have a very clear cut policy based on which have been resolving insurgencies.
"The government takes a comprehensive view of every conflict and undertakes political, economic, social and diplomatic measures to resolve it. The Army's role is to create conducive conditions for such initiatives by the government," he said.
