The Uttarkahand government is learnt to have received information on October 27 about a possible attack on the schools. The state police have since deployed plainclothesmen on the campuses and stationed Quick Reaction Teams of 15-odd men with sophisticated weaponry close by,and are reportedly running background checks on school employees.

The police declined to divulge details of the threat and their response.

But an officer said there were some unconfirmed and unverified inputs. We are not taking them lightly. We are in touch with school authorities, he said.

The reference to the NDC was made in a conversation Headley and Rana had on September 7,which the FBI recorded. Headley and Rana discussed Denmark and other targets,including the National Defence College in India… Rana,in fact,used the English word target in this discussion, the FBI informed a Chicago court.
