New Delhi: The Centre on Friday rushed paramilitary forces to Malegaon in Maharashtra to maintain law and order and prevent any communal backlash in the wake of the twin blasts that killed 22 people and injured 56 others in the textile town.
Advisories have also been issued to the states to be on high alert.
The Centre rushed over 3,000 jawans of the CRPF and Rapid Action Force besides over 500 personnel of Special Reserve Police to deal with the situation which was "tense but under control," Union Home Secretary Vinod Kumar Duggal said.
The Home Secretary was briefing reporters after his telephonic talks with the State Chief Secretaries and police chiefs to take stock of the situation arising out of the blasts that took place around 1350 hours IST.
"It is too early to blame anybody or establish a pattern as no one has claimed responsibility for the blasts so far. Nobody has said who has done it," Duggal said when asked if the Government saw any link between the recent Mumbai serial blasts and the Malegaon blasts.
