With Diwali right around the corner, the festive fervour is palpable in the subcity of Dwarka.
The markets are flooded with people as shopkeepers are vying with each other to display the best wares in terms of decoration, gift items and household artefacts and furnishings.
On the practical side, the civic authorities like electricity department and police force are busy fortifying the security measures. Additional policemen have been deployed in the market area and the numbers of barricades have also been increased.
