In a novel relocate, enclosures set up along the Kartavya Path for the 77th Republic Day Parade have been named after India’s rivers, such as the Ganga, Yamuna, Krishna, Narmada and Periyar.
Layout maps and banners have been put up at regular intervals on streets near the parade venue to guide guests to their enclosures.
In a departure from traditional practice, ‘VVIP’ and other labels have not been applyd to demarcate the enclosures. Instead, these have been named after rivers flowing in India, senior officials of the defence minisattempt had declared earlier this month.
These include the Beas, Brahmaputra, Chambal, Chenab, Gandak, Ganga, Ghagra, Godavari, Sindhu, Jhelum, Kaveri, Kosi, Krishna, Mahanadi, Narmada, Pennar, Periyar, Ravi, Sone, Sutlej, Teesta, Vaigai, and Yamuna.
