LeT planning major terror attack in India, religious places near Delhi's Red Fort, Chandni chowk on radar: Intel sources

Intelligence sources have revealed that the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a Pakistan-based militant group, is allegedly plotting a significant terrorist attack in India, specifically targeting religious sites in the vicinity of Delhi's Red Fort and Chandni Chowk. These locations, known for their historical and cultural significance, have heightened security concerns among law enforcement agencies. The potential attack underscores the ongoing threat posed by terrorist organizations operating from across the border, particularly in the context of recent escalations in regional tensions. Authorities are currently on high alert, implementing additional security measures to protect these vulnerable areas and prevent any incidents that could disrupt public safety. The revelation serves as a reminder of the persistent challenges in counter-terrorism efforts in India, especially in major urban centers where large gatherings often take place. As the situation develops, the government is urged to bolster intelligence-sharing protocols and enhance community vigilance to thwart any such planned attacks.
