The blast in Delhi on Monday prompted the Mumbai Police to step up security across the city, with senior officers directing all units to remain on heightened alert. Though no specific threat to Mumbai had been reported, officials said the precautionary measures were necessary, given the sensitivity of the incident and the metropolis’ history with terror attacks.

According to police sources, all major transport hubs, religious places, markets and coastal areas have come under increased surveillance. Quick response teams have been placed on alert, while patrol units in all five regions have been instructed to maintain continuous rounds. Intelligence units have also been asked to monitor online chatter and verify any suspicious movement or communication.
