As Eid-ul-Fitr nears, heightened security measures are in place in Southwest Delhi's Dwarka district, particularly the tense Uttam Nagar area, following a violent incident earlier this month.

More than 100 pickets have been established, and personnel are strategically positioned to maintain vigilance in sensitive zones, according to local authorities.

The escalation in security comes in response to a Delhi High Court directive, following concerns about potential disturbances during the festivities. With ongoing efforts to ensure safety, the community remains watchful.
