New Delhi:
There is an unusual calm, amid hectic police activity, in the Lajpat Nagar market these days. The popular 3Cs Mall and the entire area around it has been turned into a fortress after the Delhi Police received specific security inputs that the building would be blown up in the next 15 days.
According to sources in the Southeast district police, they got inputs from intelligence agencies about a possible threat to the mall a few days ago. After the message was forwarded to the local police, they cordoned off the entire market.
Intelligence agencies reportedly told the police that the Army had recovered a sketch of the mall from a few terrorists arrested by it recently and that their interrogation revealed a threat to the mall.

“Vigil stepped up at Lajpat Ngr mall after terror threat”

SNIPPET: “NEW DELHI: Following a specific threat of a terrorist attack on malls, security has been stepped up at the 3Cs mall and multiplex in Lajpat
Nagar. The mall administration clarified that 3Cs had not been sealed but admitted that footfalls had fallen drastically. “
I had to look it up
footfall - consumer traffic into a store or area of a store.
Hope they have some bullets for their rifles this time.
No eve teasing either.
Eerie to read this as I live in Lajpat Nagar, though not near the central market (pretty good place)-there was a bomb attack there in 1996 or so.
Well, I sure hope it turns out to be nothing, but it’s better to be forewarned (thinking of Mumbai).
Right.
