With the coronavirus pandemic raging, Republic Day will be observed with a variety of limitations set by the government, and the audience will be substantially reduced.

“We are promoting people to watch in the online format. The audience numbers will be curtailed so that they don’t become super-spreaders. The number would be between 5000-8000,” a top Defense Ministry official stated earlier this month.
