India Boosts Security for Obama Visit
Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010
India is deploying WMD detectors and a host of other security measures to protect U.S. President Obama during his visit to the South Asian state, the Indo-Asian News Service reported today (see GSN, Sept. 20).
Obama is expected in India on Saturday at the beginning of a 10-day tour of Asian nations (see related GSN story, today).
No particular danger to the president has been identified, but authorities are not taking any chances, indicated Home Secretary G.K. Pillai.
“We do believe that the visit of of the president of the United States of America to India is, shall I say from the publicity point of view, is large enough to try and create something even if it is not in any place nearby where President Obama would be. But it could be somewhere else and, therefore, we would take all precautions.” he said.
Among those precautions are: biological, chemical, nuclear and radiological detectors and related technology at hotels in which Obama is scheduled to stay; deployment of Indian warships near Mumbai during the president’s visit to the city targeted by extremists in November 2008; and jet and helicopter patrols over Mumbai and New Delhi, along with additional city police and National Security Guard operations in the cities.
