NEW DELHI: Ahead of the Independence Day celebrations in the national capital, the Delhi police have heightened the security arrangements and put up posters of various terrorists linked with terror organisation Al Qaeda and Khalistan.
The police have put up posters across the city and they have also encouraged people to assist them in catching the terrorists. The Delhi police said that those coming forward with any information regarding the terrorists will be rewarded “suitably”. The names of informants will, however, be concealed.
