Delhi Police steps up vigil for Hanuman Jayanti, paramilitary forces deployed in Jahangirpuri

New Delhi: Delhi Police beefed up security and paramilitary forces were deployed in Jahangirpuri on Tuesday to keep vigil during the shobha yatra to be taken out on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, officials said.

Stringent security measures have been taken in view of the communal clash that broke



out during a Hanuman Jayanti procession in northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri in 2022, the police said.

The police have also intensified security arrangements across the national capital, particularly areas where shobha yatras will be taken out.
