Click to play videoMumbai: An AK-47 rifle, 2.5 kg of explosives and a timer are just some of the things recovered from two alleged terrorists at Mumbai's Antop Hill on Tuesday morning after an shootout.
One terrorist was killed in the shootout. The recovery was enough to worry an already nervous city.
As the city continues to remain on high alert, Mumbai police concede that things are not as rosy as it seems to be.
"It’s a long drawn battle. It’s not going to be one day’s exercise or one module on earth and everything is over, we have to remain on continuous alert," says Mumbai Police Commissioner A N Roy.
And the security threat will continue. With the Ganesh festival beginning in the next few days, lakhs of people will congregate at thousands of pandals, which are ideal targets for hungry terrorists.
So, the organisers at Mumbai's largest Ganesh pandal at Lalbaug are taking no chances.
"We are getting assistance from the Kala Chowki Police Station. Secondly, 850 of our volunteers will also be keeping a watch. We are also installing close circuit cameras," says organiser Rupesh Pawar.
Just hours after the encounter, passengers at the Dadar railway station became the subject of a bomb scare.
"I feel unsafe. There are police only on big stations, not on the smaller ones," said one passenger.
Mumbai continues to remain on alert with terror refusing to leave the city's backyard.
