After the Intelligence Bureau warning on Thursday of possible terror attacks on "soft spots" across south India, all states have been put on a high security alert.
A high alert was sounded across Andhra Pradesh after the Intelligence Bureau warned the state authorities about the threat.
Hyderabad police commissioner B Prasada Rao said that that there were intelligence reports of three terrorists planning to carry out attacks in south India. "Since Hyderabad is the target of terrorists, we are taking all security measures," he said.
Hyderabad saw two terror attacks in 2007 - a blast in the Mecca Masjid in May, and twin blasts in August - that killed over 50 people.
Security is up at information technology companies, bus and railway stations, shopping malls, theatres and defence establishments here, in the coastal city of Visakhapatnam and at the famous Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirupati.
