Full security preparation for R-Day parade: Army

New Delhi, Jan 23 (PTI) With the government issuing a terror warning of LeT cadres procuring para-gliders for possible aerial attacks, Army today said it had made adequate security arrangements to ensure that Republic Day celebrations pass off peacefully.

"We have made all necessary, adequate security arrangements to ensure a peaceful Republic Day parade. The Delhi police too has made preparations to strength the security network," Lt Gen K J S Oberoi, Army Delhi Area Commander, told reporters here.

He was replying to queries regarding the terror alert sounded by the government in the wake of intelligence inputs that LeT cadres had bought para-gliders in Europe to mount an attack on important installations in India.

Regarding the parade, Oberoi said the Army would showcase its own indigenous Arjun main battle tanks brought from the first armoured regiment that inducted the fighting vehicle last year.
