Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) OP Singh on Wednesday called the car blast near Red Fort, Delhi, “extremely unfortunate” and said the state has been placed on high alert. Thousands of police personnel have been deployed across Haryana as part of the intensified security measures.
Addressing mediapersons in Panchkula, DGP Singh said the police were conducting extensive checks at suspected hideouts, parking areas, unclaimed vehicles, and luggage spots. “You might think it's easy to say, 'Go to the ground.' High alert means thousands of hours, thousands of personnel, and we're fully engaged, along with other agencies,” he said.
DGP Singh assured that the Haryana Police remains fully alert and is coordinating with both central and local agencies. He said all available resources are being used to ensure public safety and to track down anyone attempting to threaten security.
The DGP also expressed his sympathy for the victims of the blast and their families. “Our condolences go out to the families. We pray for the speedy recovery of those who lost their loved ones and those who are injured. We hope the relevant agencies will find those responsible. They should be punished for their actions,” he said.
Officials said checkpoints and patrols had been strengthened on highways and other sensitive areas. Citizens have been urged to cooperate with the police and report any suspicious persons or activities. Traffic and public transport departments have been instructed to work closely with the police to avoid inconvenience to the public.
Investigations are ongoing, with several agencies examining evidence and CCTV footage to identify those behind the blast and uncover their motive. Haryana Police said it would continue to provide updates as the probe advances. Authorities have urged people to stay calm, assuring that swift and transparent action will be taken to bring the culprits to justice.
