On Friday afternoon, the West Bengal government received the alert from the Central government. Bengal government was asked to take all necessary precautionary measures.

The West Bengal Police, while reacting on the alert, has beefed up security across the Hindu and Buddhist temples in the state. “We have received an alert. We have strengthened the security outside the temples in the city as well as other parts of the state. We are taking no chances,” said a senior official of West Bengal Police in Kolkata.

Two weeks back, pro-ISIS telegram channels in Bangla had released a message, threatening of an attack in Bengal. “A similar alert was ignored by Sri Lanka authorities and we saw the number of casualties. We have immediately responded to this input and alerted all our officials to maintain the highest level of alertness and preparedness to prevent any such attacks,” added the officer.
