The heightened vigilance comes in the wake of India's recent strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan.
Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, Gujarat, West Bengal, and Bihar are among the states enforcing these measures. Key border areas in Punjab and Rajasthan are under high alert, with blackout timings adjusted to safeguard against potential airstrikes. Police and administrative department personnel have been instructed to remain on duty without leave.
Security has been tightened across coastal regions in Gujarat and border districts of Himachal Pradesh. Flights are suspended at strategic airports, and public gatherings are limited.
