Delhi police have set up strict security at Shankar Road Circle, located three kilometres from Jantar Mantar, permitting traffic to move only after verification checks.
Delhi police have cordoned off Shankar Road Circle, a junction situated about three kilometres from the historic Jantar Mantar, and imposed stringent security measures. The checkpoint requires every vehicle and pedestrian to undergo a verification process before being allowed to proceed. Authorities have said the move is a precautionary response to recent intelligence inputs, though specific threats have not been disclosed.
The security personnel are conducting checks that include document verification and, where necessary, vehicle scans. Only after clearance are commuters permitted to continue their journey through the circle. Police officials have urged the public to cooperate and avoid unnecessary delays.
The heightened vigilance is expected to remain in place until the ongoing investigation concludes. Residents and commuters have been advised to use alternative routes if possible, and to stay updated through official channels for any changes in the security protocol.
