Delhi on high alert ahead of Eid; heavy security in Dwarka amid Uttam Nagar tension

With Eid-ul-Fitr a day away, security has been stepped up across Delhi's Dwarka district, as the adjoining West Delhi's Uttam Nagar area is still tense after the March 4 killing. Police said more than 100 pickets have been set up, with personnel deployed on rooftops and at key junctions to maintain a close watch on movement in sensitive pockets. Security arrangements have been further tightened around the Uttam Nagar East metro station following directions from the Delhi High Court to ensure adequate preparedness in view of apprehensions of unrest during the festival. Additional forces have been stationed in Hastsal village, where the killing took place, and nearby areas, with joint deployment of Delhi Police and central armed forces at strategic locations. Monitoring of social media has also been intensified to track and curb the spread of inflammatory content.
