Security measures stepped up on the eve of Independence Day

New Delhi: As India is set to celebrate its 75th Independence Day on August 15, security has been stepped up across the country, especially in the national capital.

To ensure that no untoward incidents occur in the national capital during the Independence Day celebrations, a large number of security forces have been deployed around Delhi’s historic Red Fort.

Delhi Police also put up posters of six most wanted terrorists around the Red Fort. The posters have pictures of the six most wanted terrorists and their names and addresses.

According to the Delhi Police, these six terrorists were linked to Al-Qaeda and their sole mission was to carry out terrorist activities in India.

The aim of these terrorists is to disturb the peace and create a climate of terror among people on the occasion of Independence Day and they want to create unrest not only in Delhi but across the country by carrying out terrorist attacks.

Intelligence agencies have received information that some miscreants may try to carry out violence similar to that which took place on January 26 in the national capital under the guise of farmers’ protest.

There is also awareness that terrorist groups also use drones and in view of this, the Delhi Police has issued an order banning the flying of aerial objects such as drones, paragliders and hot air balloons ahead of the Independence Day celebrations.
