She says Vancouver police arenB次元官网网址檛 aware of any specific threats to Indian consular officials, but have increased police presence at the downtown Vancouver consulate.

Visintin says police are also working with city officials to implement a no-stopping zone on Howe Street outside the building that houses the consulate.

No one from the consulate was made available to comment on the police presence.
