As soon as the blast was reported, the Delhi Police Special Cell, Crime Branch, NIA team, SPG team, and FSL team arrived at the scene and are conducting all investigations expeditiously. I hope our agencies will reach a conclusion on the cause of the blast within a short time, and the senior-most FSL team has also arrived."

"I received a call from the Prime Minister immediately after receiving the news of the blast. After taking the preliminary information, I also briefed the Prime Minister. I am leaving from here to visit the site, and tomorrow morning, a meeting will be conducted with a team of senior officials at the Home Ministry..." he added.

As someone living in Delhi, this is terrifying. The Red Fort area is always crowded with tourists and locals. Security should be tighter around such iconic locations. 😟

While I appreciate the prompt response, I'm concerned about the lack of specific details. The public deserves more transparency about security threats in our capital city.
