Thousands of people braved a morning chill Wednesday on a ceremonial boulevard in India s capital to watch a display of the country’s military power and cultural diversity, but the colourful annual Republic Day spectacle was curtailed amid Covid-19.
Nearly 500 schoolchildren, folk dancers, police and military battalions, floats and stunt performers on motorbikes paraded from the presidential palace down the refurbished tree-lined boulevard of Rajpath.
