Red Fort to host 50K for Guru Tegh Bahadur's anniversary
Delhi's Red Fort is getting ready for a massive three-day kirtan darbar from November 23-25, honoring the 350th death anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
About 50,000 devotees are expected, and President Droupadi Murmu along with Union Home Minister Amit Shah may join the event.
After a recent car blast near the fort, security has become a top priority.
Security upgrades and community vigilance
To keep things safe, Delhi Police, CISF, and bomb squads have set up extra layers of security.
Around 25 new CCTVs now watch the main routes to Red Fort, while the Sikh Gurdwara Committee has added another 250-300 cameras for nonstop monitoring.
Locals in Chandni Chowk are being urged to stay alert—double-checking tenants and noting auto-rickshaw numbers—to help ensure the gathering goes smoothly.
Organizers have reassured attendees about security, and attendance is expected to be high.
