Operation Sindoor and Chenab Bridge to feature on Independence Day
Ministry of Defence for this year’s Independence Day celebrations will have Operation Sindoor as the central theme
In another change, the Central Vista image embossed on the cards will be replaced by a sketch of the world’s highest railway bridge that spans the Chenab river, which was recently inaugurated by PM Modi.
Posters and banners around the venue will also mention Operation Sindoor and Chenab bridge designed to survive loss of one of its piers
Operation Sindoor was launched by India on May 7 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were murdered.
A high level meeting was held at the Red Fort regarding the Independence Day celebrations. Security agencies have recommended bulletproof glass around the Prime Minister’s dais, but the final decision is yet to be taken.
This year more guests will be invited to attend the celebration. To accommodate them, more tiered seating structures have been prepared.
As per an.official Installation of anti-drone measures, a radar near the Red Fort, and the threat posed by unmanned devices were discussed in detail with the Army. The Ministry of Defence will be deploying an anti-drone system to prevent any aerial breach, and the Indian Air Force will be on high alert. Drones are among our key security concerns. We have also instructed vendors responsible for installing CCTVs around the venue not to use any Chinese equipment for surveillance purposes.
