New Delhi: Delhi Police have tightened security arrangements in the national capital ahead of Independence Day celebrations on Tuesday.
Authorities have implemented stringent security arrangements, intensifying vehicle checks and patrolling.

On the occasion of 76 years of India’s independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday urged the people of India to participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement from August 13 to August 15.
The Indian flag symbolises the spirit of freedom and national unity, PM Modi said as he urged everyone to upload their photos with the Tiranga on the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ website.
“The Tiranga symbolises the spirit of freedom and national unity. Every Indian has an emotional connect with the Tricolour and it inspires us to work harder to further national progress,” PM Modi tweeted.
Meanwhile, around 1,800 special guests from all over India will attend the flag hoisting by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Red Fort.
Two beneficiaries of ‘Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme’ (PM-KISAN), from the state of Maharashtra, will witness the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort. The scheme has invited around 1,800 individuals, including fifty beneficiaries and their families, to attend PM Modi’s address.
