New Delhi
The Delhi Police contingent at the Republic Day Parade in New Delhi on Monday. NEW DELHI: A multi-tier security with Delhi police personnel, Central paramilitary forces and the Army deployed at strategic and vantage points greeted people as they approached the Republic Day parade route on Monday. However, much of the checking was profile-based to ensure that not much inconvenience was caused. On all the borders, incoming vehicles were checked. With the killing of two suspected terrorists in an encounter in neighbouring Noida on Sunday morning, the Delhi police did not want to take any chances. For those entering Delhi from the Ghazipur border in East Delhi, barricades were set up at two points near the border. On the Ring Road vehicles were only stopped on the basis of strict profiling. . Further down at the Bhairon Marg intersection of Ring Road, a Delhi Transport Corporation bus was parked across the road as a barricade leaving just one lane for vehicles. Only vehicles with parking labels were allowed to go past this point. Vehicles were allowed in the parking areas only after a final round of bomb checks. At small intervals all along the route, armed personnel had been deployed. Armed commandos were also present in the parking area to respond to any exigency. Before entering the enclosures, visitors were put to frisking at two points and their cards were checked. For the first time perhaps, the enclosures also had closed-circuit television cameras. Sharpshooters had also been deployed at all the buildings along the parade route and around the enclosures for visitors. Anti-aircraft guns had also been deployed at several points. .
