Delhi govt to intensify security ahead of Independence Day, details here
Independence Day 2025 Security: All Delhi Metro stations will undergo increased security checks by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in view of the 79th Independence Day festivities on August 15, 2025. From Saturday, August 9 to Saturday, August 16, the improved measures will be in place. Because of the increased security, commuters are encouraged to schedule their trips appropriately, particularly during peak hours. Longer lines could result from the more stringent screening procedure, especially during rush hour. In order to prevent delays, passengers have been asked by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to plan their trips with extra time. DMRC security measures on 79th Independence Day 2025 Extensive baggage screening- To speed up the procedure, travellers should have their possessions prepared for scrutiny through metal detectors and, if necessary, may be subject to manual frisking. Increased staffing- To better control crowds and carry out inspections, more CISF officers will be posted at entry points. Security personnel's orders- Commuters have been asked by authorities to comply with security personnel's orders and cooperate fully. This entails exercising patience while waiting, submitting to luggage inspections, and staying away from prohibited objects on Metro property. Protection- The action is intended to protect both the Metro network and its passengers during the high-security period surrounding Independence Day, when public areas across the country are on high alert. Independence Day 2025 security measures: Surveillance details Parallel to physical surveillance is digital surveillance. Cyber teams are searching social media feeds for clues like coordinated disruptions, disinformation operations, and anything else that can spark unrest. Surveillance this year involves more than just having eyes on the ground. With drone detection grids and CCTV networks, it is a full-spectrum sweep. Additionally, facial recognition software has been turned on. Snipers and monitoring teams patrol the rooftops of high-rise buildings surrounding the Red Fort. Additionally, stringent control points and verification methods that provide minimal room for error are used to filter access in the restricted zones. More than 10,000 soldiers, including special commandos and paramilitary forces, have been already set in positions throughout the city, according to The Hans India. Independence Day 2025 security checks • The planning goes deeper than the numbers. Senior officers have been precisely tasked by Delhi Police Commissioner SBK Singh. Every unit, from field supervisors to district chiefs, has received instructions to be watchful and conspicuous. • Bus terminals, transportation hubs, metro stations and market areas are patrolled around the clock. The fact that surprise flag marches have already started makes it very evident that complacency will not be tolerated. • Drones, UAVs, paragliders, hang gliders, and even hot air balloons are prohibited from flying over Delhi between August 2 and August 16. Singh is prohibited because there is a clear concern that these platforms may be used for surveillance or aerial strikes. In other words, unless it is pre-approved and tracked, no airborne movement is permitted. • Coordination with central authorities is tight behind the scenes. Vehicle barricading, intelligence-led verification drives, and anti-sabotage exercises are already in progress. The level of security at airports, interstate terminals, and train stations has increased. • According to The Hans India, there is no compromise on security despite the increased baggage checks, ID verification, and uniformed and plainclothes presence woven into crowd flows. About the 79th Independence Day 2025 Delhi is a shining example of careful preparation as the country gets ready to celebrate its 79th Independence Day. Its message is clear, its vigilance is greater, and its security grid is more powerful than ever. The Red Fort is home to the centre of this system, from where, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will speak to the country. There is an almost surgical concentration on its security. India's Independence Day, observed on August 15th every year, celebrates the country's 1947 liberation from British colonial control. For every Indian, this historic day signifies the beginning of a new era of freedom and democracy as well as the conclusion of a long and arduous battle for self-governance.

7K Rameswaram fishers to go on indefinite strike from today, fast on I-Day
RAMANATHAPURAM: A day after the Sri Lankan Navy arrested seven Tamil fishermen hailing from Ramanathapuram district for alleged violation of the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL), Rameswaram fishermen associations on Sunday announced a series of protests, including an indefinite strike from Monday and a hunger strike on Independence Day, demanding the union government to take action to address their long-pending issues. After holding a meeting in Rameswaram on Sunday, they announced that over 7,000 fishermen will take part in the indefinite strike, with over 700 boats staying ashore. The fishermen will also stage a protest at Thangachimadam in Rameswaram, on August 13, ahead of the hunger strike on August 15. 'If the centre fails to address our issues by then, fishermen will stage an indefinite rail roko in Rameswaram on August 19 (evening hours),' the association said. In the wake of the continued arrests of fishermen, the associations demanded the union government to host bilateral talks with the SL government to retrieve the fishing rights near Katchatheevu island, and urged to secure the release of the Indian fishing boats confiscated by the SL Nnavy over the years. For those boats which could not be salvaged, the centre should provide relief, they added. According to R Jesu Raj, a fishermen association leader from Rameswaram, as many as 61 Indian fishermen have been arrested by the SL navy for alleged IMBL violation since June 15 (when the annual 61-day fishing ban ended), this year. Stating that all the arrested fishers have not been released yet, Jesu Raj urged the centre to take action to ensure the release of all Indian fishermen in SL prisons. Fishermen association leader R Sagayam said, 'If our issues cannot be addressed, then the centre should buy our boats and provide us with financial aid, so that we can give up fishing and search for other jobs.'
