Due to the corona virus, this time the vision of the Republic is different. The coronavirus epidemic and ongoing peasant protests at the annual Republic Day parade in Rajpath will cut down on the number of spectators and performances. More than 1 lakh people will be allowed to watch the parade in Rajpath this year alone, according to an official in the Republic of India. Only 4,000 people will be allowed by the general public, while the rest of the audience will be VVIP and VIP guests, ”he said.
Viewers need a pass or a ticket to watch the Republican parade. Moreover, this time no one is allowed in the open standing area near the Boat Club and the India Gate Lawn, where thousands of people gather each year for a grand parade. Only those between the ages of 15 and 65 will be allowed to watch the parade, officials said.
A senior police officer in Delhi said that in anonymity, Rajpath’s stand has been shifted from chairs to ensure social distance. New standards are being set in view of the corona virus epidemic. This year, the main parade of three Defense Forces, Weapons and Paramilitary Forces will end at India Gate instead of going to the Red Fort. However, the table will be allowed to reach the Red Fort grounds.
On condition of anonymity, another official said the decision to take the march to the Red Fort and ban it inside the New Delhi district would help the movement of the participants. He said this would prevent traffic congestion on the way to the Red Fort from India Gate. On Republic Day, the New Delhi District will be sealed and an admission ticket or pass will be checked in the periphery of the New Delhi District. Some of these checkpoints are near ITO, Dhaula Kuan, Aurobindo Chowk and Ranjit Singh flyovers. Everyone attending the parade must show their ticket or pass with proof of their identity. According to the officer, only the ticket and pass holder in his name can go, no one else can go in his name.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Ish Singhal said strong security arrangements had been made for the Republic Day. Security is established in several layers – the outer ring, the central zone and the inner zone. People will be allowed with strict surveillance from the outer zone of security, where pickets and checkpoints will be installed. People are stopped here for random checks. However, only those with Republic Day tickets or passes are allowed from the internal zone.
Not only that, the size of the armed forces and paramilitary forces participating in the Republican parade is small. These teams will have only 96 participants compared to 144 each year. Significantly, the corona was concealed on Independence Day, for this reason the celebration of independence was celebrated with very few guests. The official said the thermal screening system will be in place at all access points with doctors and health workers. A sanitizer, face mask and gloves will also be arranged.
