    In a first, Army Day parade moves out of Delhi 
    Army Day parade moves out of Delhi for first time since 1949

    The Army Day parade, traditionally held in Delhi, has been moved to Bengaluru in Karnataka on Sunday. This also marked the first time the parade has been hosted outside the national capital since its inception in 1949. The 75th Army Day parade venue has been picked as the Parade Ground, MEG & Centre in Bengaluru.

    Why does this story matter?

    • January 15 is celebrated every year as Army Day to mark the occasion when Later Field Marshal, General KM Carriappa, took charge of the Indian Army from General Sir Francis Robert Roy Bucher in 1949.
    • With this, General Carriappa embedded his name in the country's history books as he became the first Army chief of India.
    • Notably, Bucher was Indian Army's last British Commander-in-Chief.

    Rajnath Singh participated as chief guest

    On Sunday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh participated as the chief guest in the parade. Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan and Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande were also present. Skydiving, band displays, and bike stunts were part of the stunning military display today, with eight marching contingents that will also be gracing the event.

    The Station Commander of the Southern Command told the news agency PTI that the parade would take place at numerous field commands in the country to facilitate a deeper connection with society.
