Republic Day celebrations
Meanwhile, this year's Republic Day celebrations were held without any Chief Guest owing to the rising COVID-19 cases in India. 25 tableaux from different states and those from different Ministries were displayed during the parade. Interestingly, the tableaux also included two from the DRDO about India's technological advancement in the defence sector.
There was a scintillating performance by 485 dancers from 15 states showcasing India's unity in diversity. The Indian Air Force's presentation saw the flypast of 75 aircraft, which would include MiG29, Chinook and C130. On January 29, 44 buglers, 16 trumpeters and 75 drummers will conclude the 'Beating the Retreat' event with 'Sare Jahan Se Acha'. A show by 1,000 indigenously developed drones is scheduled on this occasion.
