India to celebrate 60th Republic Day anniversary
New Delhi, Jan 25, IRNA – India will celebrate its 60th anniversary of the Republic Day on Tuesday, 26th January 2010.
India's capital, New Delhi will witness the traditional parade which will march down from the Raisina Hills and pass through the majestic Rajpath where President Pratibha Patil will take the salute.
Meanwhile, with the government issuing a terror warning of LeT cadres procuring para-gliders for possible aerial attacks, the army has made adequate security arrangements to ensure that the Republic Day celebrations pass off peacefully.
"We have made all necessary, adequate security arrangements to ensure a peaceful Republic Day parade. The Delhi police too has made preparations to strength the security network," Lt Gen Oberoi, Army Delhi Area Commander, told reporters here.
He was replying to questions on the terror alert sounded by the government in the wake of intelligence inputs that LeT cadres had bought para-gliders in Europe to mount an attack on important installations in India.
Over 15,000 police and paramilitary personnel will secure the 8 km Republic Day parade route from Vijay Chowk to Red Fort on Tuesday./end
