With respect to the upcoming Republic
Day celebrations, Security has been tightened in Jammy and Kashmir. The
pathankot terror attack already was a wake up alarm. Intelligence
Agencies and Security Forces are reviewing all arrangements for the
upcoming Republic day functions in Jammu and Kashmir.
A
Senior Intelligence Officer said, "Security review meetings are being
held on a daily basis this time to take a re-look on everything
concerned with providing security to Republic Day functions in the
state.
Army's Jammu-based 16 Corps and
Srinagar-based 15 Corps are actively engaged in all meetings. We are
focusing more on the security after the Pathankot terror attack.
Republic Day parade and flag hoisting takes place in the Maulana Azad
Stadium in Jammu city.
We have already
deployed more than 1200 security personnel at the venue. The rehearsal
of the parade is completed." It has to be noted that in 1995 some
explosions took place inside the stadium when K.V.Krishna Rao was
delivering the speech.
