According to the advisory, emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire tenders will enter the parade ground from Gate No. 2 and park behind the Fort Wall. On the other hand, media vehicles and OB vans will enter through Gate No. 3 and park on the eastern side of the parade ground.
Invitees with Car Passes are requested to park their vehicles at specified places, ensuring that the designated parking areas are utilized effectively.
Additionally, invitees attending the parade are advised not to bring mobile phones, helmets, cameras, radios, umbrellas, or any other equipment to the parade ground. This measure is taken to maintain security and ensure the smooth running of the event.
