Why Delhi is on high alert: Lashkar threat, ‘revenge’ motive, religious sites on hitlist | Key points

Delhi is currently on high alert due to credible threats from the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which have reportedly identified religious sites as potential targets. Authorities have heightened security measures across the city, particularly in areas with a significant presence of religious institutions. The intelligence reports suggest a 'revenge' motive behind these threats, prompting law enforcement agencies to enhance patrolling and surveillance. Officials have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to ensure safety and security in the capital. This heightened alert comes in the wake of rising tensions and the need for proactive measures to prevent potential attacks. The government reassures citizens that these precautions are necessary and emphasizes the importance of community cooperation in maintaining peace. As the situation develops, authorities are committed to safeguarding public safety while encouraging citizens to be observant and proactive in reporting any unusual occurrences.
