    Credits:
  • Tensions between India and Pakistan have significantly escalated in recent weeks.

    On September 18, 19 soldiers were killed when an Indian Army base was attacked by Pakistan-based terrorists.

    Under immense public pressure to retaliate, India carried out surgical strikes along the Indo-Pak border eliminating terrorists on Pakistan's side.

    Post surgical-strikes, many places in India are on high-alert as security agencies expect terror-attacks in retaliation.

  • Information

    Delhi vulnerable to attacks

  • For ten days, Delhi has been on high alert. Due to the ongoing festival season of Navratri and Durga Puja, security was beefed up at crowded places. Specific inputs have been received concerning suicide attacks or bomb blast at high-value targets in Delhi-NCR areas.

  • According to latest intelligence inputs, two operatives suspected to be from Jaish-e-Mohammed, a jihadist group active in Kashmir, were headed towards Delhi in a commercial vehicle.

    According to sources, intelligence agencies believe the vehicle is a transport truck carrying fruits to a wholesale market in Delhi.

    Traffic cops have therefore been asked to stop vehicles entering Delhi that are not destined for Delhi.
