Rajnath holds meet on Amritsar attack

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday held a meeting here to review the national security situation in the aftermath of Sunday's grenade attack in Amritsar that killed three persons.

The Minister met Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba, Intelligence Bureau Director Rajiv Jain, Research and Analysis Wing chief Anil Kumar Dhasmana and other senior Ministry officials, a day after assuring Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh of "strong action" against those responsible for the attack.

Over a dozen people suffered injuries when two masked motorcycle-borne attackers threw a grenade at a prayer meeting at the Nirankari Satsang Bhawan in Adliwal village in Rajasansi area.
