Day. Security personnel have established multiple checkpoints at entry and exit points to monitor the movement of people and goods entering the city. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police will deploy AI-enabled smart glasses and advanced facial recognition systems as part of an upgraded security architecture aimed at tightening surveillance and improving threat detection across the national capital ahead of Republic Day 2026. Additional Commissioner of Police Devesh Kumar Mahala said, “The force is making full use of technology-driven solutions from a security perspective. He noted that all CCTV cameras will be equipped with video analytics and Facial Recognition Systems (FRS), enabling police to identify suspects with greater accuracy. “There are various types of video analytics, and we will utilise them as well. This time, we are also using specially developed cameras and wearable glasses,” Mahala said. As per Mahala, this will be the first time that Delhi Police personnel will use such advanced wearable technology during the Republic Day parade. Selected police personnel will wear the smart glasses while on duty along the parade route to monitor crowds and identify potential threats. Earlier this week, New Delhi District Police also rolled out elaborate security and facilitation arrangements for the 77th Republic Day celebrations at Kartavya Path on January 26. According to the Additional Commissioner of Police, New Delhi District, Devesh Mahla, a robust multi-layered security cordon comprising Delhi Police and paramilitary forces has been deployed across the district to ensure a safe and incident-free event. The entire Kartavya Path area is under round-the-clock surveillance through an extensive network of CCTV cameras integrated with an advanced Facial Recognition System technology. Specialised anti-drone units and sniper teams have also been positioned on high-rise buildings to closely monitor the airspace and surrounding areas. As part of preventive measures, New Delhi District Police is carrying out extensive verification drives of hotels, guest houses, tenants and domestic help across the district to neutralise any potential security threats.
