The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) orders the Red Fort in Delhi to remain closed to the public until Independence Day, 15 August. Multiple reports say the closure begins on 15 July and runs through 15 August to allow security arrangements and preparations for the Independence Day celebrations. The restriction applies to public entry to the Red Fort complex, which is a major historical site and a key attraction in the capital. The reports attribute the decision to official orders issued by the ASI, citing the need to conduct event-related arrangements and maintain security during the period leading up to the Independence Day programme. NDTV and News18 India both describe the same timeline—closure from 15 July through 15 August—and frame it as a temporary measure tied to the annual national celebrations. Until further notice, visitors do not have access to the site during this period, with reopening expected after the Independence Day events conclude on 15 August.
