On Monday evening, a car exploded at 6.52 pm near a traffic signal close to the landmark Red Fort, leaving 10 people dead and 24 injured. This incident has prompted nationwide vigilance and a coordinated response from law enforcement agencies.
Authorities in Hyderabad have put bomb squads on alert and increased the frequency of checks at busy transit points. Police have carried out thorough security inspections at Secunderabad Railway Station, Kacheguda Railway Station, Shamshabad airport, and major bus terminals such as MGBS and JBS.
