KOCHI: In the ten high-security zones listed by the central government, Kochi also found a place. The union home ministry marked the Kundannoor to MG Road in the high-security zone regions and asked the state to be vigilant and provide adequate safety in this area.

The south naval command, Cochin shipyard, boat jetty, RoRo Jangar, and container freight station are the many high-security spots in the city. The government meanwhile beefed up the security in the Konkan storage tank and also the naval airport premises. The people will be restricted from accessing these places. The home ministry fears the involvement of spy works from foreign powers to target the country. Rajasthan, Telangana, Andaman islands, and Bihar are the other high-security regions as per the home ministry directive.
