Security agencies in Delhi have been put on high alert ahead of Independence Day celebrations, following intelligence inputs suggesting a possible “fidayeen” attack in the city. Fidayeen attacks involve terrorists making suicidal strikes, often targeting high-profile locations.
According to sources, the intelligence agencies have received inputs that terrorists may attempt to infiltrate the city and carry out a high-profile attack on August 15, when India celebrates its 78th Independence Day. The agencies have identified potential targets, including government buildings, public places, and iconic landmarks.
In light of this threat, the Delhi Police has beefed up security measures across the city. Additional personnel have been deployed at strategic locations, and patrolling has been intensified. The police are also conducting random checks and searches to ensure that no suspicious activity goes undetected.
The security agencies are taking no chances, given the significance of the Independence Day celebrations and the potential for a high-impact attack. The alert comes after a series of recent terror attacks in the country, which have raised concerns about the security situation.
The Delhi Police has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities immediately. The city’s residents are advised to cooperate with the security forces and follow instructions to ensure a safe and peaceful celebration of Independence Day.
The heightened security measures will remain in place until August 16, as a precautionary measure to prevent any untoward incidents. The security agencies are working tirelessly to ensure that the celebrations pass off without any hitch, and that the citizens of Delhi can enjoy the Independence Day festivities without any fear.
