(ANSA) - NEW DELHI, JANUARY 26 - India is today celebrating the Republic Day, the 73rd anniversary of the entry into force of the Constitution and its formal transformation into an autonomous Republic.
Demonstrations and parades were held in all the cities of the country: the most spectacular event of the year was that of the ITBP, the police force on the Indian-Tibetan border, known as the "Sentinel of the Himalayas": in Auli, in the Himalayan state of 'Uttarakhand a group of military men engaged in a march on skis, at 3,353 meters above sea level and at least 20 below zero.
The New Delhi parade, watched on TV and online by millions of Indians, started an hour later than expected due to the fog and poor visibility created by an exceptional cold wave.
In the presence of the President of the Republic Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Modi, all the military corps of the country and twelve floats inspired by the cultural traditions of as many states were presented.
