New Delhi: Elaborate security arrangements were in place across the country for the Republic Day celebrations tomorrow with police in the national capital and neighbouring states keeping an eye out on "drones", which have been perceived as a major threat.
The national capital is already on high alert ahead of the official celebrations here -- where French President Francois Hollande is the Chief Guest -- after inputs were received about the presence of key members of several terror outfits in Delhi.
Delhi Police Chief BS Bassi had asked his force and police departments of the neighbouring states to keep a vigilant eye on drones, as they have been perceived as a major threat to security, according to a senior police official.
State capitals and major cities across the country have seen security being beefed up at vulnerable places and key installations.
Similar arrangements are in place in Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Both states and Chandigarh are on high alert following the terror attack at Pathankot.
Police and paramilitary CRPF personnel have been deployed in Srinagar and at entry points to the summer capital of the state, police said, adding that barricades have been erected for carrying out random searches of vehicles entering the city.
