75th Republic Day Parade Rehearsal Kicks Off As Dense Fog Shrouds Delhi — WATCH
Ahead of the 75th Republic Day celebrations, security forces were seen at Kartavya Path engaging in the rehearsals amid teeth-teetering morning.
The rehearsals for the 75h Republic Day Parade kicked off near India Gate and Kartavya Path in Delhi on Friday. Security forces were seen rehearsing amid the chilly winter morning and a dense layer of fog engulfing the skyline of the national capital. Even the teeth-teetering cold could not shake the spirit of the security personnel as they geared up for the big day. Meanwhile, in the run-up to the upcoming Republic Day Celebrations, Delhi Police and security agencies will organise mock drills at important installations as well as in market areas in order to beef up the anti-terrorism measures and also to sensitise the general public so that they remain alert, reported news agency ANI.
In the one-minute video shared by ANI, security personnel were seen riding on horseback while carrying flags in their hands.

India will celebrate its 75th Republic Day on January 26, 2024. R-Day is celebrated to honour the historic date when the nation completed its transition towards becoming an independent republic after the Indian Constitution drafted by Dr. BR Ambedkar came into effect.
The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, will be visiting India as the chief guest for R-Day celebration. He will be seen alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi on that day at Rashtrapati Bhavan where he will witness the Indian security forces showing their prowess.
While accepting the invitation to be the Chief Guest, Macron said, “Thank you for your invitation, my dear friend Narendra Modi. India, on your Republic Day, I’ll be here to celebrate with you!”
