The security was beefed up in the region days before the celebrations to thwart possible attempts to disrupt the official functions.
India's federal government had sent an advisory to the region in the wake of U.S. President Barack Obama's 3-day visit to India.
Obama arrived in Indian capital New Delhi Sunday morning and was the chief guest on Monday's Indian Republic Day celebrations and the ceremonial parade.
Police and paramilitary troopers were deployed on roads across the region in full strength and bullet proof mobile bunker vehicles were also parked in the middle of the roads outside venues of official functions to prevent any attack.
The security agencies had activated all the installed Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTVs) in Srinagar to monitor the movement of people.
The Republic Day in India marks the date when India's new republican constitution came into force on 1950.
Every year, the day is celebrated by India on January 26. The main function was held in New Delhi, where India's cultural diversity was displayed along with military might.

A separatist movement and guerilla war challenging New Delhi's rule is going on in Indian-controlled Kashmir since 1989.
Gunfight between militants and Indian troopers takes place intermittently in the restive region.

BEIJING， Aug。 18 （Xinhua） -- A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson called on the United States and Japan to stop making incorrect remarks on the Diaoyu Islands and the South China Sea on Friday。
Media reported that the United States and Japan on Thursday reaffirmed that Article 5 of the U.S。-Japan security treaty applies to China‘s Diaoyu Islands and expressed grave concerns about the situation in the South China Sea。
In response， spokesperson Hua Chunying said China‘s position on the Diaoyu Islands and the South China Sea remains consistent and clear， and the Chinese government and its people have unswerving determination and will to safeguard its territorial sovereignty。
The U.S。-Japan security treaty is a product of the Cold War， which should not be used as an excuse for Japan‘s illegal claims and to harm China’s territorial sovereignty and related rights， she said。
Currently， the situation in the South China Sea is stable， she said， and dialogue and coordination between China and ASEAN countries have enjoyed positive progress。
Hua said the United States and Japan， which are not parties in the South China Sea issue， should respect the efforts made by countries in the region to peacefully resolve the issue through coordination and negotiation。
“China calls on the United States and Japan to do more that is conducive to regional peace and stability，” the spokesperson said。
