As the 75th Republic Day approaches, a spirited parade rehearsal unfolded at Kartavya Path amidst thick fog on January 9th, showcasing the unwavering dedication of the Indian Navy and paramilitary personnel. Despite the chilling weather, the participants demonstrated their commitment, setting the stage for a grand celebration.

As the nation gears up for the 75th Republic Day, the parade rehearsal serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of this annual event, blending tradition with contemporary diplomatic relations.
