SK Saini, General Officer Commanding (GOC), Southern Command quoted "We have got many inputs that there may be a terrorist attack in the southern part of India and peninsular India. There have been some abandoned boats also which have been recovered in the area of Sir Creek.

He added, "The Army has taken measures in the Sir Creek region keeping in mind the alert."

After the Army officer's remark, the police administration in Kerala has issued an alert to all district police chiefs, asking them to be vigilant, especially in the coastal belt. The police chiefs have been directed to maintain caution at crowded areas including bus stands, railway stations, airports and shopping malls.

Last month, Adani Port and Logistics, which manages the country's largest private port, issued a statement that "inputs had been received from coast guard station that Pakistani commandos are likely to infiltrate into Indian territory through Kutch area preferably via sea route to create communal disturbance or terrorist attack in Gujarat".

This was days after Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh had cited intelligence reports to claim that Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed is training members for underwater attacks.
