Port Blair, Jan 04: The terror attacks in various parts of India are increasing and in most of the cases the terrorists are picking up new targets, where people are least prepared.
The recent attack in Pathankot attack is another example which clearly shows that terrorists are choosing unexpected targets, which have strategic importance. Andaman is although very far from Mainland India but has huge strategically importance and what if terrorists attacks in Andaman?
The question might be awkward at this stage but are we prepared to face any such challenge? Are the crucial assets of Andamans like the Dams, Secretariat building, Raj Niwas etc are well protected? The chances of any such disaster might be less but isn’t it necessary to remain well prepared to face such crisis.
Some intelligence sources told Andaman Sheekha that although the defence forces in Andaman are well prepared to face any such challenge, the local Administration does not have any official strategy to counter such attack or a SOP to deal with the situation yet. Remember, a stitch in time saves nine.
