The DIG said: “Police and intelligence agencies are actively engaged in ensuring the security of the memorial and its surrounding areas. Nearly 3,000 personnel have been deployed to oversee security. Enhanced measures are also in place in adjacent districts, with special arrangements for traffic management. There are no security threats surrounding Victory Day celebrations.”
