Delhi on High Alert as Security Tightens Over Possible Terror Threats

Delhi has been placed on high alert following intelligence inputs about possible terror threats targeting key locations, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters on Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg and nearby government establishments. Security agencies have intensified vigilance with increased deployment of armed personnel, barricading, vehicle checks, and anti-sabotage operations. Bomb disposal squads, sniffer dogs, and quick reaction teams remain on alert. The alert follows recent arrests linked to a terror module allegedly connected to Pakistan's ISI, with concerns over suicide attacks, IEDs, shootings, and coordinated strikes in crowded areas.
