A sudden car blast near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort has led officials to close the site for three days, cordoning off the entire area as investigators assess the scene.
The unexpected explosion, reported on Tuesday, prompted New Delhi authorities to halt entry to the 17th-century complex, leaving visitors and local vendors unable to access the historic grounds.
Security teams have set up barricades around the perimeter, with a heavy police presence ensuring no one crosses into the restricted zone. While no official statement has yet detailed casualties or damage, the shutdown underscores the challenges of protecting high-traffic cultural landmarks.
For young travelers and digital nomads planning to visit India’s capital, the closure serves as a reminder to stay updated on local alerts and adjust itineraries accordingly. Future reopening plans will depend on the pace of the ongoing investigation.
