After the Pulwama terror strike, the question of security in Mumbai has been revived as India's intelligence agencies have warned of terrorist attacks in Mumbai in the next three months. 

Therefore, a warning was issued to increase the safety of all the crowded railway stations. Recently, the Air India Operation Center in Mumbai has received a phone threat to 'air hijack' and this phone call has warned all the airports of the country to be cautious as a precautionary measure.

Air India's Operation Control Room received this threat call on Saturday. "An Indian Airlines plane will be hijacked and taken to Pakistan," the telephone operator said. All the airports in the country have been warned with caution and all the passengers sitting on the plane are being thoroughly examined.

In the meantime, this phone may be fake, however, the security agencies cannot ignore any such threats because of the recent incidents. Also, the safety of all places has been increased after the Pulwama attack. In the same manner, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) had increased security at the airport after the terrorist attacks in Pulwama, but the threatening call has further increased the security.
