NEW DELHI: Indian security forces went on their highest security alert and paramilitary troops were posted at railway stations after 66 people died in blasts aboard a train to Pakistan, officials said.

Authorities sent in police reinforcements and paramilitary troops to the five stations in the Indian capital after the attack on the "Samjhauta Express" near the northern city of Panipat, a police spokesman said.

India's state-run railways also went on a "red alert" posting paramilitary forces at stations across northern India.

A spokesman for the Delhi Metro Rail Corp said troops also climbed aboard New Delhi's packed local train services after explosives were used to attack the Pakistan bound train at midnight Sunday.

"Movement of passengers on our stations are being carefully monitored through CCTVs (close-circuit television cameras)," he added.
