A contingent of the NSG ‘black cat’ commandos and a tableau of the country’s largest paramilitary force CRPF will be part of the forthcoming Republic Day parade in the national capital, official sources said.
The National Security Guard (NSG) commandos, who first came on the Rajpath for this event in 2017, are making a comeback this year.
Marching and band contingents of the Delhi Police, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police and the famed camel-mounted band of the Border Security Force will also be part of the annual parade on January 26 that is going to be curtailed this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Mountain force ITBP, tasked to guard the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China, will have its troops and band personnel marching one after the other during the parade. The annual parade displays India’s military might, rich cultural diversity and socio-economic progress.
