Kolkata, Nov 10 (IANS) Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday expressed solidarity with the families of those killed in the blast at Delhi’s Red Fort.
Using her X handle, Banerjee said she was surprised to hear about the development.
Banerjee said, “Deeply shocked to hear about the tragic blast in New Delhi. My thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones, and I pray for strength and speedy recovery for all those injured.”
At least ten people were killed and several others injured after an explosion was reported near the Red Fort.
High alert has been issued in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. About seven fire engines were pressed into service.
West Bengal BJP spokesperson Shatarupa, while speaking to IANS, said that this incident is a matter of concern for the people.
The BJP leader said, “A tragic incident has taken place in Delhi. I express solidarity with those who have lost their loved ones. We are waiting for more information to come. However, the police have taken prompt action and have detained one person so far. Fire brigade and medical services reached the blast site soon after the incident.”
CPIM leader Kaustav Chatterjee told IANS that the central government will have to take responsibility for the incident as law and order in Delhi comes under the Home Ministry.
The CPIM leader said, “Certainly, it is a tragic incident. So many lives were lost. What was the Central Intelligence Unit doing? Is it not a failure of the Central Government, because law and order in the national capital is maintained by the Home Ministry? It is certainly a failure of the Intelligence Unit of our country, especially after the Pahalgam attack.”
