Published October 13, 2004

LAHORE, Oct 12: In the wake of suicide bomb blast incidents at different places, security has been beefed up in the provincial metropolis with deputing extra contingents of law enforcing agencies at different points, main roads and public buildings.

The law enforcing agencies have already adopted a new security plan for the VVIPs with enhancing security troops and now took some other measures to ensure peace, improve law and order.

Besides, the government high ups have 'sealed' the Civil Secretariat in the name of security thus disallowing the people coming for official and private business to enter it before 12:30 pm. -PPI
