Silence was palpable in the markets around Red Fort, which bustle with shoppers and echo with the din of last-minute bargains throughout the year, on Tuesday.
All that could be heard as one walked past the Old Delhi markets were stories of grief and recollections of the carnage that unfolded at the traffic intersection in front of the historic structure a day earlier.
Eyewitness claims
Traders and bystanders could be seen recounting tales of what they witnessed and felt last night.
Standing before a small crowd, Sonu, a guard at a public toilet opposite the Red Fort complex, described how the night sky lit up following the blast.
