The Gujarat police is fully equipped to thwart any terror attacks, said director general of police SS Khandwawala on Thursday .
“We are fully prepared and are also taking preventive actions to counter any such incidents from taking place again,” Khandwawala told reporters after paying tribute to those killed in the 26/11 terror attacks a year ago.
“We have good commandos and technologically advanced weapons to counter terrorism,” the DGP said.
He said all the equipment had been personally examined by a committee of senior officials.
Referring to the 1,600-km long coastline of Gujarat, Khandwawala said, “We have set up new police stations along the coastline and are doing joint patrolling with the Indian Coast Guard. Moreover, there is coordination with the Indian Navy in the Arabian sea.”
On November 26 last year, 10 armed terrorists had hijacked a boat belonging to a Gujarat fisherman and used it to reach Mumbai for carrying out the terror attacks.
