In a video message posted on the Delhi Police's Twitter handle, Delhi Police chief spokesperson Dependra Pathak assured people that the police is alert and has a robust mechanism in place to fight terrorism.

"In case you spot any suspicious person or activity around you, please alert the police. We expect your support in providing us information about such elements who might try to create tension in the city," Pathak, who is also special commissioner of police (Operations), said in the message.
