Top government officials said the Border Security Force (BSF), Army, Marine Police and security agencies have been told to beef up patrolling, along sea and land borders."We have told all district and city police heads to stay alert and conduct round-the-clock patrolling in vulnerable areas. We are checking hotels, guest houses, buses and railway stations and have even beefed up the security cordon at the airport," a top police official said.
