IB flags graffiti incident at Kochi Metro yard as major security failure

KOCHI: Intelligence Bureau (IB) has flagged the graffiti incident at Kochi Metro yard in Muttom, Aluva, as a major security lapse. The Metro Rail networks in the country are categorised as ‘high security zone’ and any lapse in security reveals failure in the existing security system. Even as there are rumours that the graffiti was handiwork of some insiders in Kochi Metro, the Central agency has apprised Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) of the major security breach following confirmation that the two unidentified persons had sneaked into the yard in broad daylight on May 22 and painted the graffiti on the coach spending over two hours at the yard.
