“Wishing all the people of India a Happy Republic Day. Jai Hind!” Modi said in a tweet in Hindi and English.
The prime minister will visit the National War Memorial in the morning, marking the commencement of the Republic Day Parade ceremony.
A shortened ceremony due to COVID-19 restrictions, the parade will witness many firsts this year: no chief guests, shorter route, participation of fewer soldiers, fewer spectators, and no children under 15.
The parade, which will begin at 9 am and conclude with fly-past at 11:25 am, will see the participation of 17 state tableaus, apart from the ones from central ministries and armed forces.
