Strong action needed against these terrorists. Hope our agencies catch them soon. Good to see international support but we need to strengthen our own security systems too.

Prayers for the victims and their families. Such attacks in our capital city are unacceptable. The government must ensure proper compensation for affected families and better security measures.

While I appreciate the international solidarity, I hope our government focuses on preventing such incidents rather than just reacting after they happen. Better intelligence and surveillance needed.

As someone living in Delhi, this is terrifying. The Red Fort area is always so crowded. Hope the injured recover quickly and the perpetrators are brought to justice soon.

Terrorism has no religion, no nationality. Good to see global unity against this menace. India should lead the fight against terrorism with strong counter-measures and international cooperation.
