Runners are carrying the Olympic torch through the sealed-off streets of central New Delhi amid a massive security clampdown.

India is home to the world's largest Tibetan exile community, leading organizers and government officials to fear major protests during the run. The torch's route was cut back because of those fears, and the current run is less than 3 kilometers long.

There have been scattered Tibetan protests Thursday in New Delhi and other Indian cities, but police have kept them largely under control.
