On a normal day, the area outside the Red Fort would be crowded with shops and markets buzzing and tourists queuing up. But today it is deserted, except for the media teams and the police.
The debris and charred vehicles from Monday's explosion have now been covered up and security forces continue to patrol the area.
Investigators are still combing through the wreckage for evidence to determine the exact cause.
I saw a team of National Security Guards, which is India’s counter-terrorism force, entering the site of the incident.
A short while ago, we heard from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in Bhutan on a two-day visit.
In his first public remarks since the explosion, Modi said the conspirators behind it “will not be spared”.
During the speech he briefly switched from Hindi to English and said that “all those responsible will be brought to justice”.
"I was in touch with all the agencies investigating this incident throughout last night. Our agencies will get to the bottom of this conspiracy," he said.
There is, however, still no official word on what led to last night's blast.

Sonu Agrawal says his older brother Lokesh died in Monday's blast while on his way back from visiting a relative at a hospital in Delhi.
Lokesh, father of two sons and a daughter, owned a shop in Amroha city in the neighbouring Uttar Pradesh state, his brother told news agency ANI.
"He had gone to Delhi to meet his son's mother-in-law, who is in hospital there. Afterwards, he was near the Red Fort metro station when the blast took place," Sonu Agrawal said.
"When we called his phone, a policeman picked up and informed us about the incident," he said.
Mr Agrawal said he also got a call later from the police since his was the last number Lokesh had dialled.
One of the people who have died in the blast is a bus conductor named Ashok Kumar who worked for the government-run Delhi Transport Corporation, his brother has told the IANS news agency.
“Ashok was going home after completing his duty,” Devendra Kumar said. “He lived in a room he had taken on rent.”
Devendra Kumar says his brother’s details are on the official list of the eight people who have died in Monday's blast.
“Ashok was 26-27 years old and has three children – two daughters and one son,” he adds.
Police say they are in the process of identifying all those who have died in last night's blast.
"We have identified six bodies and post-mortem has been done on five," official Raja Banthia told reporters on Tuesday. "The injured are getting treatment."
Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said the country’s top investigation agencies are probing the explosion that killed at least eight people in Delhi on Monday.
“The findings of the investigation will soon be made public”, he said, and assured that “those responsible for this tragedy will be brought to justice and will not be spared under any circumstances”.
A reminder here – there is still no official confirmation of what caused the blast.
Home Minister Amit Shah and other officials have said they are "exploring all possibilities".

“We are examining the scene of the crime.
“The Forensic Science Laboratory is lifting traces of explosives. We’ll be able to tell what they are in one or two days,” he says.
We earlier reported that last night's blast was being investigated under the Explosives Act, which controls the possession and use of combustible substances.
A senior police official has now confirmed that they have also registered a case under the anti-terror law called the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). He did not explain the reason for doing so.
"Investigations have been initiated and multiple specialised teams from the Delhi police, the Forensic Science Laboratory and the National Security Guard are present at the crime scene, lifting evidence to help the investigation,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Raja Banthia told reporters on Tuesday morning.
"We cannot comment on anything conclusively until we have hard facts," he added. "The investigation is in its preliminary stages."

Security issues regularly feature prominently in elections in the country.
