MUMBAI: India's 74th Republic Day celebrations saw the city wearing its heart on its sleeve to honour the sacrifices made by the nation's defence forces.
On the evening of January 26, the city's first Ganeshotsav mandal at Girgaum that was inspired by Lokmanya Tilak, invited decorated officers of the Indian army, navy and air force to conduct a seminar for students on making a career in the defence forces. Each year on Tripurari Purnima, members of the Shree Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Sanstha felicitate groups like manual scavengers, or fire brigade, BMC and railway workers.
