73rd Republic Day 2022

This year's Republic Day celebrations will be held without any Chief Guest owing to the rising coronavirus cases in India. Earlier, the Presidents of five central Asian countries- Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan were invited as guests but their visit was cancelled due to the pandemic. This year's Republic Day will be celebrated with strict curbs and only 5,000-8,000 visitors will be allowed to visit Rajpath to see the parade as compared to around 25,000 audiences in 2021. During the celebrations, the audiences will be made to follow necessary covid protocols such as social distancing, use of hand sanitizers and face masks.

Despite these curbs, however, the Indian Military is preparing for its grandest show of strength this year. The Indian Air Force's presentation will see the flypast of 75 aircraft, which would include MiG29, Chinook and C130 under the Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav celebrations regarding the 75th year of Independence. In addition to this, 25 tableaux from different states and those from the armed forces will also be displayed during the parade. Interestingly, the tableaux also include two from the Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) that will showcase India's technological advancement in the defense sector.
