R-Parade To Begin 30 Minutes Late, 1st Time In History
The Republic Day parade is set to begin 30 minutes late, from scheduled 10:00 am, on January 26. This will be the first time that the parade will begin late, amid COVID-19 restrictions and homage paid to security personnel who lost lives in Jammu and Kashmir on duty, said an official. Meanwhile, beginning from 10:30 am, the 90-minute-long parade at Red Fort will showcase diversity of India on the R-Day.
