Security has been beefed up at Chabad House in Paharganj close to the city center where the resident rabbi began to bar non-Israelis from entering the place, the reports added.
Police also began checking handbags and passports of the people at the entrance, ascertaining that they were Israeli nationals before letting them in. Israelis come to India in large numbers as backpackers and tourists. They visit Chabad House to celebrate special occasions such as passover.
I have been to this chabad house. Although this was around the time of the 1st anniversary of the mumbai attacks, there was not much security there. Im glad they are finall securing it a bit more.
I guess all the Kashrus reps will stay elsewhere.
