Red Fort Closed July 15–August 15 for Independence Day Preparations
The Red Fort in Delhi is closed to the public from July 15 until August 15 to facilitate preparations and security arrangements for India's 79th Independence Day celebrations. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has suspended visitor entry during this period to allow for stage construction, rehearsals, and deployment of security personnel. This month-long closure, which has occurred in previous years, ensures smooth conduct of the annual event where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag and addresses the nation.
