Search raids are being conducted even in certain residences to unearth any militant members in hiding. Security has been tightened at the border areas and a strict vigil has been kept at the exit and entry points.

A special vigil has also been kept in the Meghalaya border due to suspicion regarding a certain group, who might try to cause an attack, as such we are in constant touch with neighbouring state Meghalaya”.
