Hence, there is a constant state of heightened alertness in Delhi, since the guard cannot be let down. However, there are no specific intelligence inputs about a terror strike in Delhi.
(c) (d): there are intelligence inputs that the Indian Mujahideen terror outfit receives shelter, training, weapons and financing in Pakistan. The Government of India is addressing this issue through enforcements, intelligence and diplomatic means.
