New Delhi, Apr 9: Security will be increased for the third Test between India and South Africa in Kanpur, police said on Wednesday after reports that militants plan to target the game.

CNN-IBN quoted unnamed police sources in New Delhi as saying they had information that Islamic militants may try to carry out an attack in Kanpur.

UP DGP, Vikram Singh, declined to comment on the threats, but said there would be extra security for the game.

"We are taking no chances and all possible precautions have been taken to ensure a safe cricket match at Kanpur," he said.

Singh said police would deploy extra manpower, equipment and technology and called on the public to "feel free to watch the match in a relaxed atmosphere."

The New Delhi police spokesman was not immediately available for comment.

South Africa leads India 1-0, going into third and final test starting on Friday.
