High alert in Delhi: ‘Large congregations on target around Independence Day’, says report

Live Mint  

The intelligence agencies are on high alert following reports suggesting that one or two operatives from a terrorist group active in Jammu might attempt a fidayeen attack in Delhi or Punjab around Independence Day. As reported by Times of India, citing sources, the attack may not be scheduled for August 15 due to the heavy security presence, but could potentially occur a day or two later. "Deceptively fabricated IEDs may be used to target large congregations around Aug 15," the alert reads, adding, “The threat is exacerbated by the possibility of reprisal action by elements disgruntled due to certain decisions or actions taken by the govt.” Security measures in national capital In preparation for Independence Day celebrations, the Delhi Police have significantly increased security measures, deploying over 3,000 traffic officers, more than 10,000 police personnel, and 700 AI-based facial recognition cameras across the national capital. During a security meeting at the Red Fort, Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora highlighted the need for heightened security measures, referencing the Trump attack.
