The Delhi Police officials added that, in light of the recent security breach of Prime Minister Modi’s convoy in Punjab, the force is being extra cautious to ensure that such an occurrence does not occur in the national capital.
To coincide with the birth date of liberation warrior Subash Chandra Bose, Republic Day celebrations will henceforth begin on January 23 rather than January 24 each year.
