Red Fort blast: UP, Haryana, Rajasthan, Mumbai on high alert

India

A car explosion outside Delhi's Red Fort Metro station left eight people dead and several injured, prompting a major security shake-up in the city and beyond.
Investigators suspect an IED was used, and with a recent terror plot also stopped nearby, authorities aren't taking any chances—security is tight all around Delhi-NCR right now.

What are the other states doing?

Uttar Pradesh has issued a red alert, with extra checks at religious sites and borders.
Haryana police are stepping up patrols at interstate crossings and asking everyone to stay alert.
Rajasthan is boosting security at places like Jaipur railway station and the airport.
With elections coming up, Bihar is increasing vigilance to keep voting safe, while Mumbai has been put on precautionary alert and Vadodara has more police out in busy areas to help everyone feel secure.
