Security stepped up at India Gate after intelligence report

New Delhi: Security was stepped in and around India Gate, the war memorial which attracts thousands on Sundays, with police restricting entry into the area.

The move comes three days after twin blasts rocked Hyderabad killing 16 people and leaving 117 injured.

Police stepped security in the national capital, especially at India Gate as it is one of the most crowded locations in the city during weekends.
A senior Delhi Police official said its personnel have been alerted and they were keeping a tight vigil on the city.
“There is nothing to panic. We have taken all precautions,” the official said.
