Jaipur, Aug 9 (IANS) High alert has been sounded in Jaipur following intelligence reports that some armed terrorists may try to sneak into India on Independence Day to create disturbance in view of the prevailing situation in Kashmir.
Leaves of all police station in-charges have been cancelled and security has been enhanced at railway stations, airports, bus stops, tourist spots and religious locations.
