New Delhi, Nov 12 (PTI) The Delhi Police on Wednesday observed a two-minute silence in memory of the Red Fort blast victims before launching a workshop on cyber safety for school teachers.

Organised in collaboration with the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C), Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Directorate of Education, the workshop titled "Cyber -- Samvaad" was held at Adarsh Auditorium at the police headquarters.
