Mangalore, Feb 28: Following intelligence information that terrorists are active in the coastal belt, especially in and around Kasargod district on the Karnataka-Kerala border, CoD police have arrived on secret mission, said some sources.

This secret mission is being undertaken after the arrest of Mohammad Kutti alias Yahya Khan in Bangalore last week.  It is said that Yahya Khan has spilled beans and based on the information from him CoD cops have landed in Kasargod.  Banned students' outfit SIMI is active in the areas and sources confirmed that there are quite a few young men working secretly for the organization. 

SIMI activities have spread their wings to Puttur and Bantwal taluks of Dakshina Kannada, informed some sources. Though intelligence sources had alerted the state government about the possible extension of SIMI activities to the district, no serious action was then initiated.  Now almost after four years, once again the intelligence police have alerted the government.  The arrest of quite a few SIMI activists in Hubli, Bangalore has confirmed that banned organization has been planning its own 'sleeper cells' across the state.

The CoD police who are on a secret mission have been gathering data in Uppala, Naya Bazaar, Manjeshwar areas to establish facts.  The local police even do not have any information about the ongoing CoD operation in their jurisdiction.
