MUMBAI: Following the twin bomb blasts in the Bangalore-Guwahati Express in Tamil Nadu early on Thursday, special emphasis was given to beef up railway security in Mumbai.

The Railway Protection Force deputed 500 of their men for bandobast on the Western line. "We have sounded off a high alert and instructed staffers to conduct checks on platforms," said senior divisional security commissioner Rajendra Rupnawar, RPF (WR). On the Central line, additional men were called for from the RPF headquarters for bandobast. "Striking forces have been deployed. Dog squads have been roped in for checks. Commuter baggage is being scanned. Our appeal to commuters is to not touch suspicious objects and report them immediately," said senior divisional security commissioner Alok Bohra, RPF (CR).

"Anti sabotage checks are also being conducted on CR stations and in parking areas. Special squads have been formed at every railway police station for conducting random checks on trains. Frequent announcements are made on platforms for commuters. Minimum personnel — necessary for registering complaints — are being retained at railway police stations and the rest have been deployed on the field. Officers have been instructed to ensure maximum police presence on the railways and conduct surprise checks," said DCP Rupali Ambure, GRP (CR).
Police officials said that despite May 1 being a public holiday, patrolling and security was beefed up in and around important installations. "We are on alert and all the police station and specialized units have been asked to increase the patrolling and make the police presence feel on the streets. Cops are conducting surprise checks at various places and monitoring suspicious people to avoid any untoward incident in the city," said a senior police official.

The bomb detection and disposal squad was ready to tackle any untoward incident. Senior police officials said that they did not have any specific input about any terror outfit or terror strike in the city.
