Bengaluru will host the annual Army Day parade in January 2023 keeping in tune with the Centre's decision of holding such events outside the national capital.
An Indian Army spokesperson on Tuesday confirmed Bengaluru as the venue of the next Army Day parade on January 15.
The Army Day parade was traditionally held at Cariappa parade ground in Delhi cantonment marking the appointment of Lt Gen K M Carippa as the first Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army. Gen Cariappa later became India’s first Field Marshal.
Last week, the Indian Air Force held its annual parade and flypast in Chandigarh, shifting the show for the first time outside the national capital region. Now the Indian Army is to follow the suit.
