Dehra Dun: Officials of the prestigious
Indian Military Academy (IMA) on Thursday met Uttarakhand police
brass to review the security of the institution in the wake of
threat perception.
IMA sources, however, described it as a routine
meeting and said ever since intelligence reports have
indicated that vital installations across the country,
including IMA, are on target of terrorists, such meetings are
being held regularly to review the security of the Academy.
The Academy produces officers for Indian Army and the
Passing Out Parade of the winter batch is scheduled next
month.
Against the backdrop of American terror suspect David
Headley`s several visits to India, the Centre yesterday warned
five states, including Uttarakhand, against terrorist attacks
particularly targeting military training academies.
The states alerted have been asked to coordinate with
the army authorities as well as the administration of Indian
Military Academy here and the National Defence Academy in
Khadakwasla about security arrangements.
