Security forces have also been deployed in strength in sensitive places in the city, where checkpoints have been established in some areas. Vehicles, particularly two-wheelers, were being checked at these nakas before allowing them to move forwards.
Security forces were also checking vehicles coming into the city from adjoining districts to foil any attempt by militants to smuggle in weapons.
