The Directorate of Civil Defence will test air raid sirens at the PWD headquarters in ITO on Friday, prompting increased security measures by Delhi Police across the city. Additional personnel have been deployed, and security checks are underway in public areas. Authorities are urging vigilance and monitoring social media to prevent misinformation during the exercise.

Delhi braces for monsoon with 445 identified waterlogging hotspots, a significant jump from last year's 194. Recurring problem areas like Minto Bridge and Pul Prahladpur underpass remain concerns despite ongoing mitigation efforts. The PWD is implementing new drainage solutions and installing additional pumps, while authorities collaborate to address flooding and prevent disruptions.
