Heightened Vigilance Across Mumbai After Delhi Blast

In the aftermath of the explosion near Gate No. 1 of Delhi’s Red Fort Metro Station, which resulted in several fatalities and multiple injuries, Mumbai Police have ramped up monitoring across sensitive zones. Additional patrol units, intensive checks, and rapid-response teams have been deployed at major public areas, including religious sites and popular tourist spots such as the Gateway of India, Marine Drive, Haji Ali Dargah, Siddhivinayak Temple and Mahalaxmi Temple.

Mumbai’s key railway stations like, CSMT, Dadar, Andheri and others, are now under stricter watch, with officers conducting detailed baggage checks, increased vehicle screening, and constant monitoring at all entry and exit gates. Commuter movement remains steady, but security personnel have visibly stepped up their presence to maintain control and ensure safety.

Authorities have urged citizens to remain alert and immediately report any suspicious item or behaviour to the police helpline 100 or the nearest police station. Residents have also been advised not to circulate unverified claims or rumours on social media, which could cause unnecessary panic during an already sensitive period.
