Delhi Police on high alert

As soon as the news of the PM's visit came, the police fortified the ITO area. Ordered to remove vehicles parked on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg. Also, if the given order is not followed within 20 minutes, they will be lifted by crane. During this time, security checkpoints were increased by diverting traffic. The Home Ministry issued a high alert. Vigilance is being maintained in NCR. Is this the first sign of a conspiracy?

New twist—the i20 car came from Connaught Place via Mayur Vihar?

According to the police, the i20 was first seen in Connaught Place and Mayur Vihar, then in Red Fort. The car is said to be of Umar Nabi Pulwama, linked to the Faridabad module. Nearby vehicles were hit by the blast, and the fire brigade took 5 hours to extinguish it. NIA took the case under UAPA. A search operation is going on in Faridabad. The PM's visit will give encouragement to the injured, but questions remain on Delhi's security. Will the Center and States together take major action?
