A commando team from Thiruvananthapuram has been guarding the Jewish Synagogue at Mattanchery and the St Francis Church at Fort Kochi for the past four days, in the wake of a Central alert on a possible LeT attack.
The state gave due diligence to the terror alert and took all the precautionary measures to thwart any possible attack on the Synagogue, said police sources and added that the chances of an attack on the Synagogue was high, compared to the other places in the city, as it would create an international impact.
City Police Commissioner Manoj Abraham said that appropriate measures were taken to provide foolproof security to the Synagogue.
Commandos are posted at Mattancherry and the Police Department is contemplating to bring the Synagogue under tight security cover permanently, he said.
Meanwhile, the police continued its vehicle checking drive in the city.
