NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police on Sunday sealed shops near the historic Red Fort ahead of the 75th Independence Day celebrations.
The cops are keeping a vigil in the entire area.
Around 400 CCTV cameras will be installed in and around the Red Fort area to monitor the security arrangements, said Yogesh Kumar, sub-inspector, Delhi police.
The Red Fort is shielded with a Radar system to ensure its safety from the Drones, as it is another threat apart from the Technological dangers for security. The police personnel are also taught the ways to combat suspected objects flying in the sky, reported ANI quoting police.
The police have completely banned the flying of Kites (for as long as the Independence Day programme continues) around the Red Fort after the alert regarding some terrorist attack via a flying object like a kite was issued to the police by the agencies.
The police are also keeping a vigilant eye over suspicious activities and persons as the terror modules are also involving local criminals.
Apart from around 250 eminent personalities who are expected to arrive at the Red Fort on Monday, nearly 8,000-10,000 people are also likely to attend the programme, hence the police have installed 1,000 cameras with high-resolution quality in the nearby areas.
The special cell of Delhi Police has successfully projected the pictures of around 1,000 suspicious persons, anti-national elements, and terrorists to the other unit of the police force, to ensure that every unit and department stays cautious.
