Phailin saved Ranchi from serial blasts

A proposal to set up an anti-terrorist cell is pending with the state government for the last two years.

"We do not have adequate resources to deal with terrorist activities. We do not know much about the terrorists operative module. Some youths of Ranchi have been arrested in the past but such arrests did make us feel that terror attacks could take place in Ranchi or any other place in the state," the police official said.

Ranchi first witnessed a terror attack in 2008 when a bomb was found in a popular shopping mall. Police at that time saw the incident as a move by anti-social elements to create panic.
