The Police Commissioner urged citizens to remain vigilant, drawing parallels to a recent attack on former US President Donald Trump as an example of the type of threats that necessitate increased caution.

In preparation for Independence Day 2024, the Delhi Police on Thursday (August 8) intensified their security measures and public awareness efforts by putting up posters of wanted terrorists across the city. "We're putting up these posters to increase public awareness ahead of Independence Day," said Sub-inspector Komal.

Additionally, the Delhi Police have imposed a ban on sub-conventional aerial devices such as para-gliders, paramotors, hang-gliders, drones, and microlight aircraft within the national capital. This decision comes amid concerns about potential security threats, with inputs indicating possible target killings on Independence Day.
