Following the report, police commissioner D Sivanandhan met more than 40 consul generals in the city to update them about the security arrangements.

Sivanandhan told MiD DAY that a series of such meetings are likely to take place to beef up security arrangements.

The police said the consul generals are willing to offer help.

The police had received support from several foreign agencies, including the FBI, after the terror attacks in the city last year.
