Around 24 platoons, including personnel from Assam Police and forces such as BSF, SSB, CRPF, and CISF, are set to participate in the ceremonial parade to showcase coordinated discipline.

Past Republic Day incidents in Guwahati, including explosions in Rehabari and Lalmati and a suspicious bag in Katabari, prompted robust security measures after ULFA-I claimed responsibility for the 2025 incidents.

Assam DGP Harmeet Singh said preparations are complete and security has been tightened to ensure peaceful celebrations.

A ceremonial flower shower by the Indian Air Force is planned after the Governor's address, adding to the celebratory mood.

Guwahati is gearing up for Republic Day on January 26, 2026, with heightened security and preparations under way at the Veterinary College Ground, Khanapara.

In Dibrugarh, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will unfurl the national flag, with security arrangements in place.

Mizoram Police will participate, alongside the Assam Police dog squad, contingents from schools and colleges, NCC cadets, and Scouts and Guides.

About 15 school and college teams are taking part, with at least six performing dance routines; marching contingents will be led by the Assam Police Base Band and the BSF–SSB Pipe Band.
