Indian politicians, who insist on top security personnel anywhere they go, should learn a lesson from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who has specially insisted that such heavy security should not be deployed at the Taj, where she is staying during her visit to India.
Sources from Taj security told on condition of anonymity, that before her arrival in India, she had specifically informed them through the US Consulate not to deploy high security, despite the various onerous possibilities in the wake of the recent terror strikes.
However, the state government, which is already on high alert following intelligence reports, does not want to take any risk. They have taken special measures for her security.
Clinton, who arrived yesterday in the city, is staying at room number 110 on the 11th floor of the Taj, where she will stay for three days.
The police and consulate staff will not allow people on that floor, not even hotel staff, without their permission. The surrounding area will be cordoned off by uniformed police, and Crime Branch and State Intelligence staff will keep watch.
Clinton will visit several places, including St. Xavier’s College, besides attending a social programme arranged by the city-based SEVA organization. Today, she will first offer tribute to the 26/11 victims after which she will attend a meet with businessmen, including Ratan Tata.
Police officials have said that anyone found loitering around the area would be hauled off for interrogation.
Rakesh Maria, Joint Commissioner, Crime, said “Police in plain clothes will keep watch on the hotel from vantage points.”

Angry Angre, scared Wagh!
By Pradeep Gupta
Ganesh Wagh, the man who sent Thane Police’s top notch encounter specialist Ravindra Angre to jail is now running scared after bail was granted to the latter by the Supreme Court on Friday.
“Woh mujhe aur mere family ko 100 per cent mar dalega” (He will definitely kill me and my family), is what Wagh told The ADC last Saturday.
This 37-year- old Wagh, a builder by profession, has also decided to shift his posh office located at Raghunath Nagar to a smaller makeshift place at Anand View Apartments on old Agra Road.
Wagh says that, “they have had to cancel their intended visit to his native village during this vacation period. He is not even allowing his children to play with the children of his building and the neighbouring buildings.
Wagh claims that “when Angre had filed his bail plea in the Supreme Court, the latter’s friends and accomplices had called him (Wagh), threatening him with dire consequences if he appealed against Angre’s plea for bail. “They threatened to also kill my family and children and this is why I have not applied for rejection of his bail”, says a dejected Wagh.
Following his complaint to Thane police, he had got day and night police security. But last month, his night security was withdrawn by the Thane police while his day security may also be withdrawn this week.
Encounter Specialist Ravindra Angre was arrested last year for threatening Wagh at gun point and for forcibly taking his signatures on blank paper.
Wagh, who was building a Rs. 100 crore swimming pool-cum-commercial complex in Thane, was allegedly being forced to accommodate Angre’s wife Dhanashree as a partner in the project.
Angre has been granted bail on a surety of Rs 25,000. The court order must have come as a relief, since his last three bail pleas had been rejected.
A mortally scared Wagh has now demanded he and his family be given security by the Thane police.
Angre packs a mean gun and reputation, having killed more than 40 persons in encounters in his chequered career. Notorious robber and gunman Suresh Manchekar was one of the victims.
