Indian Embassy in Kathmandu to be fortified

New Delhi, Mar 12 (PTI) India has decided to fortify
its embassy in Kathmandu by deploying more commandos in the
wake of fresh terror threat to the mission in the Himalayan
nation.

Top government officials said the decision has been
taken following Intelligence inputs that Pakistan-based
Lashkar-e-Taiba may try to target the Embassy and diplomats
posted there.
The inputs also suggested that threats have come to
the Indian assets in the Himalayan country from Nepal Maoists
and some other anti-India forces.
"We have reviewed the security after the Intelligence
inputs and have decided to fortify the Embassy in Kathmandu
which include deployment of more commandos and putting in
place more security measures," the official said.
Currently, the Kathmandu mission is guarded by
commandos of Central Industrial Security Force.
The government is also contemplating to review
security in the Indian Embassy in Colombo.
"Though there is no specific threat to Colombo mission
which is well guarded, we will review security there too," the
official said.
The Sri Lankan mission is guarded by BSF personnel.
