Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort, to mark India’s 74th Independence Day. This year’s ‘I-Day’ celebrations have been overshadowed by the pandemic.
The ceremony in New Delhi and other celebrations across the country are expected to take place with strict physical distancing guidelines in place. ‘Corona warriors’ such as doctors and healthcare professionals have been invited for the main event and given a special seating area.
Massive security arrangements are in place, including the deployment of National Security Guard snipers, elite SWAT commandos and kite catchers around the Red Fort.
