Mumbai: In the background of the recent Delhi blasts, Mumbai was and continues to remain on its toes once again as being the highly possible target for terror attacks.

The city police in collaboration with a telecom firm have launched a campaign called ‘Alert Mumbaikar,’ which will include a 24-hour helpline for citizens to alert the police about suspicious activities, enlisting the support of the citizens to combat the threat.

Commissioner of Police, Mumbai Hasan Gafoor says, “Mumbai has always been a prime terror target being the financial capital."

The financial capital is getting ready to tackle the terror threat head on.

Additional Commissioner of Police, Protection Vijay Kargaonkar says, “This campaign is designed to create awareness across all sections of Mumbaikars about the things they have to keep in mind."

Even the Bollywood industry is doing its bit for the cause.

Actor Shahid Kapoor says “We all need to be alert about this."

Cyber tech consultant Vijay Mukhi’s initiatives are also underway to create awareness on how to fight terror in cyber space.

Mukhi along with the sheriff plans to develop a cadre of people who would go around and help others secure their networks.

The Delhi bomb blasts has left a sense of apprehension in Mumbai but in the true spirit of the city, Mumbaikars are not giving in to their fears but finding ways to keep their city safe.
