The district administration in Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Ranipet and Tirupattur are on high alert for the 73rd Republic Day celebrations, with around 1,500 police personnel to be deployed as part of security arrangements on Wednesday.

Due to the pandemic, the celebrations will be a low-key event with the general public not allowed to participate in the event that will be held in the parade ground at the Vellore, Ranipet and Tiruvannamalai Collectorates. In Tirupattur, only 50% occupancy will be allowed in the celebrations.
