MALDA, Aug 14: Security has been beefed up at the Malda Town Station and its surrounding areas following Intelligence reports that the Ulfa and KLO could carry out attacks on the station or its adjacent areas. The Malda SP, Mr Dilip Mondal inspected the sites personally today and checked the security arrangements first hand. According to Intelligence inputs, the KLO in particular could train its gun on Malda as its hardliner leader Malkhan Singh is lodged in Malda jail. That Maoist activist Mr Animesh Chakraborty is also in Malda jail is an additional headache for the Malda police. The police are leaving nothing to chance under the circumstances. The Malda SP himself came down to personally frisk the luggage of 25 passengers of the down Kanchenjangha Express at Malda Town Station and interrogated some people sleeping on the platform, today. The police are going through the compartments of every train passing the route. The English Bazaar police station and Malda GRP have jointly taken charge of security arrangements at Malda Town Station. An eight-member team of rapid action force has been posted at Malda station. “The additional force would continue duty till mid night tomorrow,” the SP informed. The SP today approached the assistant security commissioner of Malda RPF for security arrangements on railway tracks and car sheds of the Malda Town Station. Besides vital installations, police pickets have been set up at Modipukur hospital, where Maoists circulated propaganda material recently, in Bamongola police station area.
