As India prepares to celebrate its 78th Independence Day, these temporary inconveniences are necessary to ensure the safety and success of the national celebrations. The Delhi Traffic Police reassures the public that all measures are being taken to minimize disruptions while maintaining the highest standards of security for this important national event.
