NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police has increased coordination with security agencies and issued a high alert in the capital. Surveillance has been increased in sensitive areas, major markets, railway stations, bus terminals, and other important installations. The police are also appealing to the public to immediately report any suspicious activity or person to security agencies.
In view of potential terrorist threats ahead of the Independence Day celebrations, the Delhi Police has tightened security across the capital and issued a high alert. As a precautionary measure, the police have posted posters of 19 most wanted terrorists at prominent landmarks, public places, and crowded markets. These posters urge the public to share information about suspected terrorists.

The list includes Riyaz Bhatkal and Shabandri Mohammad Iqbal alias Iqbal Bhatkal, both associated with the Indian Mujahideen. Mohammad Sharjeel Akhtar, Abu Sufiyan, and Syed Mohammad Arshiyan, all associated with al-Qaeda, are also included on the posters.
Among the Khalistani terrorists, Ranjit Singh alias Neeta and Paramjit Singh Pamma of the Khalistan Zindabad Force, and Arshdeep Singh alias Arsh Dala of the Khalistan Tiger Force have been prominently named. Posters have also been put up for other wanted terrorists, including Harvinder Singh Sandhu alias Rinda, Wadhawa Singh Babbar, and Gurmeet Singh Bagga, all associated with the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI).
According to the police, security is particularly strengthened in Delhi during national festivals like August 15th and January 26th, due to the potential for terrorist attacks. During this time, surveillance is increased at railway stations, bus stands, markets, religious sites, and other sensitive locations.
