Republic day security: Security has been tightened in several areas of the national capital in preparation for the 74th Republic Day celebrations.
Police personnel were seen thoroughly inspecting vehicles. Intersections are heavily barricaded, as are checkpoints with sniffer dogs and metal detectors.
This comes after Delhi Police arrested two terrorists in the national capital earlier this month with ties to foreign terror organisations.
Flying of sub-conventional and aerial platforms in the National Capital Territory of Delhi has been prohibited until further notice due to reports of threats from anti-social and terrorist elements to the Republic Day celebrations.
