The celebration of Independence Day on 15th August is very special for every Indian. On this day, the Prime Minister of the country hoists the tricolor from the ramparts of the Red Fort, and thousands of people gather at the Red Fort to witness this historic moment. On this special occasion, the security arrangements are very tight, and it is necessary to follow certain rules.
If you make a mistake amid the crowd, traffic, and security checks, you may have to face difficulties. Let us know what 5 things you should keep in mind before going to the Red Fort on 15th August, so that your day can be memorable without any hassle.
Keep your identity card with you
It is very important to have a valid photo identity card (such as an Aadhar card, voter ID, or passport) to enter the Red Fort. You will have to show your identity card at the time of the security check. Without this, you will not get entry, so do not forget to keep it with you.
Carrying these things is prohibited
Keeping security in mind, carrying some things is strictly prohibited at the Red Fort. These things include sharp objects, firecrackers, matchsticks, lighters, drones, and selfie sticks. If you carry any of these things with you, the security personnel can immediately confiscate them, and in many cases, police action can also be taken. Therefore, it would be better if you carry only the necessary things with you.
Reach on time
The program on 15 August starts early in the morning. So try to leave home early, because if you leave late, you may have trouble getting in. Traffic and security checks can also take a lot of time. Only by arriving on time will you be able to enjoy this wonderful program to the fullest.
Know the route of your vehicle in advance
If you are going by your vehicle, then before leaving home, be sure to get information about the route and parking. On 15 August, many roads in Delhi remain closed, and separate arrangements are made for parking. If you park your vehicle in the wrong place, you may have to pay a fine.
Also, follow these things
All guests visiting the Red Fort are expected to take their seats by 9:00 am. Shuttle bus service may also be available for a short distance to take you to the venue. Strictly follow the conditions of the ticket or pass.
