  • Before going to Red Fort, PM Modi visited Rajghat, the resting place of the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, and paid homage.

    This year, the celebrations at Red Fort were watered-down, in the wake of coronavirus pandemic. As opposed to 900-1,000 people who witness the PM speaking live, nearly 250 were in attendance, reports suggested earlier.

    Schoolchildren were also absent from today's event.

  • The entire country, much like the rest of the globe, has slipped into uncertainty due to the raging pandemic. India is now the third worst-affected nation after the United States and Brazil.

    At the time of the press, India's coronavirus tally stood at 2,525,222, and death count at 49,134.

    Fortunately, India's recovery rate is one of the best in the world at nearly 70%.
