Jammu, Aug 8: Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) today ordered constitution of two teams of Anti-Fidayeen Squads to tackle any untoward incident following threat letter received by Jammu Police and a media office of the national daily, threatening multiple blasts in Jammu, on the upcoming Independence Day.
"A letter was received by the office of SSP Jammu and a national Hindi daily office, wherein it was threatened to carry out a series of blasts in the district on I-Day," police sources here today said.

However, a Quick Reaction Team (QRT) is already there to tackle any unprecedented incident and the two teams of the squad will be on toes round the clock.
The letters are being taken seriously but can also be the handiwork of mischievous elements according to sources in the police and the truth would come out today.

They said police is trying to find out whether it is a handiwork of some mischievous elements or an authentic document, adding, "Teams have also constituted and dispatched at different locations, schools, the names of which were reportedly mentioned in the letter."
