Ahmedabad, Aug 22 (IANS) Security agencies were on full alert and a massive searc operation was on Tuesday after police received a call saying two armed men wer spotted near the Kakrapar atomic power station in south Gujarat

Director General of Police P.C. Pandey said some villagers from Kakrapar, 80 km from Surat, informed the CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) that handles the security at the power station, that they had seen two people with "suspicious movement" near the plant.

"The security outside the power plant is the responsibility of the state police. Policemen have conducted an extensive search but nothing has been found out yet," the police official said.

Pandey categorically maintained that nobody had entered the power plant.

Gujarat's Minister of State for Home Amit Shah also said no one had entered the power plant premises. "This seems to be a rumour but we are taking precautions and the search is on to trace the suspects."

Meanwhile, both CISF and the Gujarat police said the two people spotted by the villagers were possibly sadhus or holy men.

"The CISF and police have been conducting a search operation, but we have so far no intimation that the power station is in danger," said Pandey.

Security arrangements at the Kakrapar power plant, as with all other atomic power stations in the country, had been enhanced recently following a terror threat.

The Kakrapar Atomic Power Plant houses two reactors that generate 400 MW in a day. Two more reactors were slated to be installed in the power plant.
