In a country-wide advisory, the ministry asked all states to deploy additional forces in crowded places such as markets, railway stations, bus terminals and religious places to foil attempts by terrorists to carry out attacks.

However, the official said, there was no specific inputs about any plan by terrorists trying to disrupt peace anywhere in the country.
