Delhi on high alert: Security beefed up after posters of wanted terrorists put up at metro stations, markets

PTC News Desk: Days before the Republic Day, the national capital has been put on high alert as the security agencies intensified surveillance to prevent any untoward incident. 

According to police officials, the posters primarily feature suspects linked to terror outfits such as Babbar Khalsa, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Al-Qaeda. The move aims to involve the public in identifying potential threats, as millions of commuters pass through major transit hubs every day.

Police officials said the posters highlight individuals associated with terror organisations like Babbar Khalsa, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Al-Qaeda. The purpose is to encourage public participation in identifying possible threats, as lakhs of commuters use major transport hubs daily. Delhi Police have urged citizens to remain watchful and cooperate fully with security teams. People have been instructed to immediately report any suspicious behaviour or individuals, avoid touching unclaimed bags or items, cooperate during security checks, and refrain from spreading rumours or unverified posts on social media.
