India Nov 15, 2025

Red Fort is set to welcome visitors again on November 16, just days after a tragic explosion near the Lal Quila metro station claimed 13 lives.
The blast on November 11 led to an immediate lockdown and a full investigation, but now the Archaeological Survey of India has announced it will reopen.

Metro access returns as things stabilize

Security is being relaxed and life around the fort is slowly getting back to normal.
Gates 2 and 3 at Lal Quila metro station have reopened, making it easier for people to get around again.
Firefighters quickly controlled the blaze from the car explosion near Chandni Chowk Metro Station, and officials say they're focused on restoring calm while investigations continue.
