Delhi: Security tightened at power grid, substations after threat to cut power lines on R-Day

The Delhi Police has tightened security at power grid and power substations of BSES in Delhi after a threat from Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a banned organisation, was received by the company to disrupt the power supply of the national capital. Police said that preventive measures are being taken in view of the threat and assured that no one will be able to disrupt the power supply.

The SFJ is a pro-Khalistani group. The Union Home Ministry had banned SFJ for its anti-national activities in 2019.

The group had last week called upon the farmers protesting against the three farm laws to plunge Delhi into darkness on Republi Day by targeting the offices of discoms and disrupting the power supply.
