With the Army Day Parade taking place in Jaipur for the first time, the police administration is on high alert. Detailed guidelines have been issued by the Police Commissionerate to enhance security measures during the parade rehearsals and the main event. The parade will follow the route from NRI Circle to Mahal Road via the Bombay Hospital.
Members of the public can witness the parade on January 9, 11, 13, and 15 between 6 a.m. and 12 noon. Seating arrangements near the Akshaya Patra Temple have been made for the convenience of spectators. To avoid traffic congestion, citizens are advised to approach the venue via Mahaveer Marg and Kendriya Vihar Marg from the D-Mart Circle side.
Flying drones within a five-kilometre radius of the Mahal Road has been strictly prohibited for security reasons. Additionally, kite flying has been banned during the rehearsal and Parade period. The police have emphasized that drones and kites could pose a threat to Army aircraft and parade operations, leading to the imposition of the ban to prevent any potential accidents or security breaches.
As part of heightened security measures, residents living near the parade route, including tenants, shopkeepers, factory owners, and housing societies, have been directed to ensure mandatory police verification of employees and tenants. Citizens are advised against renting out properties without prior police verification. Housing societies and residential colonies are urged to cooperate fully with the police during door-to-door verification and surveys.
The police administration has urged the public to report any suspicious person, vehicle, or activity immediately. Renting vehicles to unknown individuals is discouraged, and residents of high-rise buildings are requested to share guest information with the police. Emphasizing the significance of public cooperation for the success and security of the Army Day Parade, the police have called the event a moment of pride for Jaipur. Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the police.
