Security upped in Delhi after high alert over LeT terror plan targeting religious sites

In response to heightened security threats, authorities in Delhi have intensified security measures following intelligence reports indicating a potential terror plot by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) targeting religious sites. Specific information has surfaced suggesting that a temple located in the historic Chandni Chowk area could be a planned target. The Delhi Police, along with other security agencies, are on high alert and have increased patrols and surveillance around vulnerable locations, particularly those frequented by worshippers. This proactive approach comes as the nation grapples with ongoing concerns about radical groups aiming to disrupt communal harmony, especially during significant religious festivals. The government has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities, emphasizing the importance of community cooperation in maintaining safety and security. The decision to bolster security measures is part of a broader strategy to ensure the safety of religious gatherings and public spaces, reflecting the authorities' commitment to protecting citizens from potential threats.
