We appeal to the people to stay calm
Commissioner of Police A N Roy
We have beefed up security arrangements all over the city. Special attention is being paid to crowded public places. Since it is festive season, police presence has been increased around shopping malls, markets and places of worships.
Bomb detection teams and assault squads have been alerted, while the Quick Response Team (QRT) has been deployed at strategic locations to respond to crisis at the shortest possible time. Senior police officials will be monitoring the arrangements.
We appeal to the people to stay calm. Dont believe rumors. The police are fully equipped to deal with any situation and there is no cause for panic. If anyone has any information about anything suspicious, they can inform the police on numbers 100 or 103, or call their local police stations. People need to be careful at religious places
Joint Commissioner of Mumbai Police, Arup Patnaik
The police are on alert. There is adequate police and the reserve force has also been called in as the security has been intensified at crowded places like temples, markets, etc. As it is the festive season, people need to be careful at religious places. We are also coordinating with intelligence agencies and gathering their inputs. An alert has been announced in Maharashtra
State Director General of Police, Dr P S Pasricha
An alert has been announced in Maharashtra. All unit commanders, superintendents of police and commissioners across Maharashtra have been asked to be on alert. I request the people not believe any rumors. They shouldnt be unnecessarily panicked. The administration is aware of the problem. We will engage in community policing.
