The Red Fort in Delhi reopened to tourists on November 16, 2025, after a five-day closure following a car bomb explosion near the Lal Quila Metro Station on November 10 that killed at least 13 people and injured many others. The Archaeological Survey of India confirmed the site was safe after structural and environmental assessments, with enhanced security measures now in place, including stricter entry checks and surveillance. The metro station partially reopened, with only two of four gates operational, while investigations continue into a suspected coordinated attack linked to a terror module involving multiple suspects, including doctors with ties to prior cases. Authorities are analyzing CCTV footage and other evidence to reconstruct the incident, which caused significant damage and prompted a citywide security review.
