No credible threat to any sporting event: Govt

Allaying fears of terror attack, the government on Monday said there was no credible threat to any of the upcoming sporting events in the country this year and it was taking maximum precaution to ensure foolproof security. Earlier, addressing some foreign correspondents based in India, the Home Secretary said India had organised big sporting events in the past and had been able to provide good security successfully. Mr. Pillai also ruled out the possibility of outsourcing the Commonwealth Games security to anyone else, saying the government was capable to do so. The Home Ministry had recently decided to review the elaborate security arrangements for the hockey World Cup beginning February 28, the Commonwealth Games and the Indian Premier League after the Pune blast.
