While security is important, I hope the increased presence and checkpoints don't disrupt the daily life of the locals in Srinagar too much. There has to be a balance.

Republic Day is a reminder of our unity and sovereignty. Tight security in J&K sends a strong message that we will protect our celebrations anywhere in the country. Kudos to the forces.

The article mentions 2026 for the ticket counters? Is that a typo? Should be 2025, right? Otherwise, great info. Hope they also have a good online booking system in the future.
