Security alert in Delhi and Uttarakhand after email warns of possible terror threat

Delhi and Uttarakhand have been placed on high alert by security agencies following a suspected Khalistani terror threat, with security intensified at religious sites, government establishments, railway stations and police installations, sources said.

According to sources, the alert was issued after authorities received an email warning of possible attacks in the coming days. The message allegedly named several temples in Delhi and Uttarakhand, along with government offices, railway stations and police establishments, as potential targets. It also reportedly mentioned certain political leaders, prompting security agencies to heighten surveillance.

The alert comes against the backdrop of recent tensions involving Nihang Sikhs in Uttarakhand.

The developments follow a three-day standoff at the Nagrasu gurdwara in Rudraprayag district, where a group of Nihangs demanded the release of four members arrested over a clash with local residents in Karnaprayag market on June 16. The standoff ended on June 23 after a Sikh delegation intervened.
