Punjab hunts for 5 'fidayeen'

SANGRUR (PUNJAB): A day after the Union government issued an alert on a possible terror strike in four states, including Punjab, intelligence agencies circulated pictures of five suspected fidayeen. Punjab police have access to the photos of suspected fidayeen and going by the threat perception, paramilitary forces have been put on security, officials said.

Central intelligence agencies have alerted Punjab police of probable attacks at oil stations in Sangrur, Jalandhar and the recently-inaugurated Bhatinda oil refinery. Working on these inputs, police have increased security arrangements and have involved CRPF and BSF in manning the oil depots. A company of CRPF has been stationed at the Indian oil depot at Sangur.

Patiala IG Paramjit Singh Gill, DIG L K Yadav and SSP Harcharan Singh Bhullar have visited the depots.
