In the wake of a catastrophic car explosion near Delhi’s historic Red Fort, the iconic monument will remain closed for three days, from November 11 to 13, as authorities intensify their investigation. The Archaeological Survey of India confirmed the closure following a formal request from law enforcement agencies. The blast, which claimed at least 12 lives, has sent shockwaves across the nation, prompting heightened security measures nationwide. Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has vowed that the perpetrators will face severe consequences, assuring victims’ families that justice will be served. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently on a state visit to Bhutan, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that those responsible will be held accountable. The National Security Guard (NSG) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) have been deployed to the site, with the car owner and two associates already in custody. Delhi has issued a travel alert, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah has convened a high-level security meeting to address the crisis. Police have escalated security checks across the city, inspecting vehicles at numerous checkpoints. The incident has underscored the urgent need for robust national security measures.
