Jaipur, Jan 3 (NationPress) The first-ever Army Day Parade in Jaipur has prompted the police to heighten their alertness.
The Police Commissionerate has outlined comprehensive guidelines to bolster security measures during both the rehearsal and the actual parade, officials confirmed on Saturday.
The parade will take place along the route from NRI Circle to Mahal Road, passing by Bombay Hospital.
Onlookers can view the parade on January 9, 11, 13, and 15 between 6 a.m. and 12 noon.
To facilitate attendees, seating has been arranged near the Akshaya Patra Temple.
For smoother access, spectators are recommended to approach via Mahaveer Marg and Kendriya Vihar Marg from the D-Mart Circle to minimize traffic disruptions.
Due to security considerations, the use of drones is strictly forbidden within a five-kilometre radius of Mahal Road.
Additionally, kite flying has been prohibited during both the rehearsal and parade days.
Authorities have indicated that drones and kites could pose risks to Army aircraft and parade operations, hence the necessity for this ban to avert incidents or security violations.
The police have urged citizens to not only refrain from using drones and kites but also to dissuade others from doing so.
As part of enhanced security protocols, residents in close proximity to the parade route—such as tenants, shopkeepers, factory owners, and housing societies—are required to ensure that police verification is conducted for employees and tenants.
Residents are reminded to avoid renting out properties, shops, or industrial spaces without prior police approval.
Housing societies and residential complexes are encouraged to fully cooperate with police during verification and surveys.
The police administration has requested the public to report any suspicious individuals, vehicles, or activities immediately.
Moreover, individuals are advised against leasing vehicles to unknown parties, and residents of high-rise buildings should inform the police about any guests.
Describing the event as a significant moment for Jaipur, police emphasized the importance of public cooperation for the success and security of the Army Day Parade.
Citizens are encouraged to report any unusual activities, as stated by the police.
