The initiative is being led by public security officials who will be in charge of monitoring data, Ming Pao Daily reported Wednesday, citing a circular from the Communist Party and the State Council.

Security will be beefed up in buses, subways, railway stations, airports, ports and other transport-related services against potential terrorist attacks.
