What would be Special on Republic Day of India 2016
On this Republic Day of India:
This is first time in the Indian history since 1950 that French contingent will participate in the Republic Day parade of India together with the Indian armed forces.
After many years (26 years later), Indian Army dogs are now back to participate in the Republic Day Parade 2016 at the Rajpath. Around 36 Indian Army dogs including 24 Labradors and 12 German Shepherds will take part in the parade. They are practicing since last four months and three times a day for better performance.
This is first time in the Indian history after 66 years that there will be no BSF camel contingent participation in the republic day parade 2016.
The timing of republic day parade in 2016 has been reduced by at least 15 minutes by the government. There is plan to perform 90-minute parade in 2016 instead of two hours by cutting down some marching military contingents and number of tableaux.
