New Delhi, Jan 21 (NationPress) The Intelligence Bureau has issued a warning to security agencies to maintain an elevated state of alert as the Republic Day celebrations approach in Delhi, with indications of a coordinated strike being orchestrated by Jaish-e-Mohammad and Al Qaeda.

Intelligence reports suggest that these groups are also targeting the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

An official from the Intelligence Bureau confirmed that the planned attacks are localized, aiming to strike multiple locations, including both Delhi and Ayodhya.

In response, security measures have been intensified in these areas, and extensive operations are currently underway to apprehend individuals linked to these organizations.

This heightened alert follows the recent dismantling of a Jaish-linked module that executed a blast near the Red Fort in New Delhi.

According to an official, the bombing at the Red Fort was initially intended to coincide with Republic Day celebrations. However, it seems that the perpetrator became agitated and detonated the device prematurely.

This panic arose after the police disrupted the Faridabad module, during which they uncovered over 2,000 kilograms of ammonium nitrate.

Officials assert that Jaish-e-Mohammad is determined to pursue this plan, which was thwarted previously. Agencies are currently in search of leads to track down this module.

Furthermore, officials are conducting search operations aimed at uncovering the explosives that this module intends to utilize for the planned attacks.

Reports indicate that, similar to the Faridabad module, this one originates from Jammu and Kashmir. It is suggested that the attacks may have been conceived there, according to another official.

Security agencies have also reported a significant increase in online communications and social media activity. Recently, an account under the name Falcon Squad, established by the Kashmiri Resistance Group, has ramped up its online presence, inciting local youth and disseminating extensive propaganda.

One official stated that the ISI is directly involved in this operation, enlisting assistance from some operatives in Punjab to ensure the plan's success.

The Khalistan network, reportedly created by the ISI in Punjab, is believed to be aiding the module in orchestrating the attacks in Delhi and Ayodhya.

Another official noted that Khalistani terror groups and Jaish have collaborated in the past, making it easier for the ISI to bring them together. Many operatives from both factions train together in Pakistan, fostering a long-standing bond.

Officials claim that the Khalistani groups are providing logistical support to Jaish-e-Mohammad.

Meanwhile, agencies are closely monitoring the northeastern states and West Bengal.

Intelligence agencies recently received information about a plot developing in Bangladesh that aims to target these regions. Numerous individuals have been trained for these attacks and are attempting to infiltrate India through West Bengal, exploiting the upcoming elections in the state and some northeastern areas.

With elections scheduled for February in Bangladesh, officials warn that these radical factions may attempt to execute disruptive actions.
