Security takes center stage in Delhi as police unveil a comprehensive awareness program just ahead of the 75th Republic Day parade. The capital’s law enforcers are mobilizing communities to stay one step ahead of threats, fostering a culture of collective responsibility.
Spanning all 15 districts, the campaign deploys mobile vans equipped with PA systems blaring safety advisories in Hindi, English, and regional dialects. Interactive sessions feature quizzes with prizes, making learning fun for families. A focal point: countering lone wolf tactics through everyday observation skills.
Beyond basics, the program tackles cyber threats intertwined with physical security, advising against sharing parade routes online. Partnerships with local NGOs ensure outreach to underserved areas, including slums and industrial belts.
Drawing from past successes, like the foiled 2023 plot, officials highlight data-driven targeting. Over 200 events are planned, synced with full-dress rehearsals. Traffic diversions and no-fly zones are communicated proactively to avoid panic.
Public sentiment is buoyant, with social media buzzing about ‘Delhi’s watchful eyes.’ As the tricolor prepares to unfurl amid tableaux of national pride, this initiative reaffirms that true sovereignty lies in an alert citizenry.
