Reportedly, homage will be paid to those security personnel who lost their lives in Jammu and Kashmir, before the beginning of the Parade. Also, for the first time, unprivileged people who don’t usually get to see January 26 Parade will be invited. Owing to the spread of Covid-19, no foreign chief guests from the Central Asian countries will be attending the parade.
