TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ As India celebrates the 75th Independence Day with patriotic fervour and enthusiasm, police in the national capital have made stringent security arrangements, especially at the Red Fort, from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered his address to the nation. The police have installed over 1,000 high-resolution CCTV cameras in the vicinity of the Red Fort to prevent any threat.
Notably, the city is currently under a heavy security cover after the intelligence agencies received inputs of a possible terror attack in the wake of Independence Day. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has issued five fresh alerts, warning of a possible terror strike in Delhi and several cities. The law enforcement agencies have been warned that terrorists could use IEDs during the flag hoisting ceremony on August 15 at the Red Fort. A lot of drones might enter several cities including Delhi from the Pakistan border through Punjab.
This was learnt during the questioning of terrorists who were arrested in the recent past. A few terrorists had even claimed that a lot of drones had entered India through Punjab. Subsequently, to counter any threat from sub-conventional aerial platforms and manned or unmanned flying objects, including drones, the Defence Research and Development Organisation has installed an anti-drone system near Red Fort.
