First Time Tribal President Draupadi Murmu Takes The Salute
Kartavyapath became history this time on Republic Day. For the first time in the country, tribal woman President Draupadi Murmu took the salute of the parade. As per tradition, the national flag was unfurled followed by the national anthem with a 21-gun salute. For the first time, a 21-gun salute was given by a 105 mm Indian field gun. These field guns replaced the older 25 pounder guns, reflecting the growing ‘self-reliance’ in the defense sector. Four Mi-17 1V/V5 helicopters of 105 Helicopter Unit showering flowers on the spectators on duty.
Along with this, there will be a display of indigenous military might and women power. Cultural diversity will be seen in the tableaux of the states. Along with this, 50 aircraft of the Air Force will show their might.
