Srinagar: Full dress rehearsals of January 26 parade were held across Kashmir, including at Bakshi Stadium- where the main function will be held- on Wednesday, officials told PTI.
Full dress rehearsals were held at the district headquarters across the Valley, they said.
The deputy commissioners presided over the full dress rehearsals at their respective district headquarters, the officials said.
Stringent arrangements were put in place for the rehearsal, with Bakshi Stadium enveloped by a multi-tier security apparatus, they added.
Divisional Commissioner Bidhuri appealed to the public to participate in the celebrations and said, “People have worked very hard for this function and we request everyone to join.”
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the rehearsal, Valley police chief Birdi said arrangements are in place in Srinagar and other districts.
“The police are coordinating with other forces also. The security grid is vigilant and active,” news agency quoted the official further saying.
While the security arrangement is stringent, directions have been passed to the armed forces so that the general public does not face any inconvenience in joining the celebrations, he said.
