The Police are carrying out surveillance through drones and foot patrolling in high footfall areas such as Sadar Bazar, Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place and Sarojini Nagar among others.
Moreover, elaborate security measures were also seen at Bus Stations and Railway Stations in the National capital.
Additionally, checking of the vehicles entering the city is also being carried out at the Borders of Delhi, and the traffic movement has also been regulated in the sensitive zones of the national capital.
