An uneasy calm shrouded the narrow bylanes of the JJ colony in west Delhi’s Uttam Nagar on Saturday as residents offered Id prayers amid heavy police deployment, with cries of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ puncturing the tense air. At least 95 people were detained for attempting to cause a law and order situation, the police said.

Speaking to The Hindu, DCP (Dwarka) Kushal Pal said heavy deployment of Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel was in place, with barricades set up at key entry and exit points and strict identity checks being carried out.
