Security threats
As early as three years after independence, the Naga National Council called for a boycott of Independence Day in the northeast. Separatist protests in this region intensified in the 1980s; calls for boycotts and terrorist attacks by insurgent organisations such as the United Liberation Front of Assam and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland, started to mar Independence Day celebrations. Separatist protesters have boycotted the Independence Day in Jammu and Kashmir with bandh (strikes), use of black flags and by burning the Indian national flag. Islamic terrorist outfits such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Hizbul Mujahideen and the Jaish-e-Mohammed have issued threats, and have carried out attacks around Independence Day. Boycotting of the Independence Day celebration has also been called for by insurgent Maoist rebel organisations. In anticipation of terrorist attacks, particularly from Islamic militants, security measures in the country are intensified before the Independence Day celebration, especially in major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and in troubled states such as Jammu and Kashmir. The airspace around the Red Fort is declared a no-fly zone during the celebration to prevent aerial attacks, and additional police forces are deployed in other cities.
