The Delhi Police is on high alert as Hindu organizations prepare to celebrate Hanuman Jayanti on Thursday in Uttam Nagar and Jahangirpuri, both located in Delhi, India. Following the violent incident on March 4, which resulted in the murder of a 26-year-old man and subsequent unrest, security has been significantly bolstered. Heavy police presence is evident, with officers conducting flag marches and bike patrols to reassure the public. In Uttam Nagar, tensions escalated after a minor altercation during Holi celebrations led to vandalism and arson, resulting in the arrest of sixteen individuals. In Jahangirpuri, officials held a meeting with the Aman Committee to foster communal harmony, especially after the violence during last year's Hanuman Jayanti procession. Authorities have implemented enhanced surveillance measures, including CCTV cameras and drones, while barricades have been established at strategic locations to maintain order and safety during the festivities.
