A high alert has been issued across the country after Pakistan reportedly attempted an aerial attack. Security agencies in Pune have stepped up vigilance, especially around the popular Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple, which attracts thousands of devotees daily. The temple has been surrounded by heavy police presence due to potential threat inputs. Officers are monitoring all visitors closely, and anti-riot squads have been stationed outside the premises. The alert follows growing tensions between India and Pakistan, with a possible conflict looming.
In response, security arrangements have been intensified across the city. Since Thursday night, police have set up checkpoints in sensitive areas. The Dagdusheth temple has reportedly received threats in the past, leading to increased patrolling and surveillance.
