Mr Singh told a meeting on internal security in the capital, Delhi, that the government had information of fresh attacks being planned. "There is credible information of ongoing plans of terrorist groups in Pakistan to carry out fresh attacks," he told a meeting of state chief ministers. "After Mumbai attacks, we have put in place additional measures. There is a need for continued utmost vigilance," Mr Singh said.The prime minister said all states need to share intelligence information "to avert any terror attack". Mr Singh said cross-border terrorism remained a "most pervasive threat". The federal and state governments have planned several security measures following the Mumbai attacks. Mumbai and Hyderabad have already been allocated their first dedicated elite security force headquarters. More such security task force hubs are proposed in Jodhpur and Guwahati, to ensure that the whole country is covered.
