Thiruvanathapuram, September 06: The Centre today said no specific security threat had been received to the Commonwealth Games to be held in Delhi next month.
Acquisition of para gliders by Lashkar-e-Toiba had come to the notice of Centre, but it did not cause any direct threat to CWG, Union Home Secretary G K Pillai told reporters here.
Asserting that the Centre was not concerned by the LeT acquiring para gliders, he said government would take all necessary steps for foolproof security for the games.
On the standoff between BlackBerry and Union Government over giving access of its message service to security agencies, Pillai said the firm had made available some of its features to the Centre. They have agreed to provide more, he said adding, “the Centre has asked for company’s data services considering national security.”
“It is a must for monitoring some messages.
