Jammu and Kashmir police, on Wednesday, carried out an extensive search operation in Kulgam, raiding more than 200 locations linked to the banned organisation Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI). Similar operations were launched across the Valley and the national capital a day earlier, following a deadly explosion in Delhi. On Monday evening, a car blast near the Red Fort metro station killed twelve people and left many injured. Since then, Delhi Police has been operating under high alert.Officials said that checking drives have been intensified across the city, with paramilitary personnel deployed at all entry and exit points. Vehicles entering and exiting the capital are being stopped for inspection, while senior officers supervise security checks at interstate borders including Ghazipur, Singhu, Tikri and Badarpur.Random checks are also being carried out at markets, metro stations, railway terminals and bus stands to ensure no suspicious movement goes unnoticed. Anti-sabotage teams, sniffer dogs and metal detectors are stationed at sensitive locations, and residents have been asked to report anything suspicious through emergency helplines. Coordination meetings between the Delhi Police, Intelligence Bureau and paramilitary forces are underway to assess inputs related to the blast. Officials said that the enhanced security arrangements will continue.The impact of the Delhi blast has extended to Jammu and Kashmir as well. On Tuesday, police in the Valley launched wide-ranging vehicle checks across several districts, Anantnag, Pulwama, Kulgam, Baramulla, Ganderbal and Shopian.Blast in the national capital was carried out in a panic by a Jaish module member, after multiple raids by security agencies busted its hideouts and bases across a range of states like Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana and UP.
