At least nine people were killed, and the toll may rise. The explosives, recovered earlier from a Red Fort blast-linked terror module, were stored in an open area of the station. The Red Fort case has intensified scrutiny of the “white-collar terror module” operating across J&K, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, from which nearly 2,900 kg of explosives were seized and eight suspects, including three doctors, detained. Investigators are still working to identify the module’s intended targets.
Delhi woke up to another day of dense smog on Saturday, with air quality slipping further into the severe category. The Early Warning System recorded an AQI of 386 at 7 am, while AQI.in put it at 470 roughly equal to smoking 12 cigarettes a day. Thick haze reduced visibility and slowed morning traffic. Officials said the variation in readings stems from differences in monitoring parameters and station locations. With no improvement in sight, the Commission for Air Quality Management has extended GRAP Stage III across Delhi-NCR.
The Lal Quila Metro Station is now open for commuters, the DMRC said in an update on X. The Netaji Subhas Marg in front of the Red Fort will also open soon, as per officials.
The process of clearing the blast site has started. The Netati Subash Marg will be opened to the public.
