As Republic Day is being celebrated across the country on Jan. 26, parade rehearsals took place on Jan. 20, at Marina Beach Road, Chennai. Triforce soldiers, National Cadet Corps, Central Industrial Security Force, Police Department, and Fire Department were seen participating in the practice. Decorative vehicles were also present. Traffic has been diverted on this road for four days due to parade rehearsals. R-Day celebrations, which are usually held near the Gandhi statue on Kamarajar Road, Marina Beach, in Chennai, will take place near the Statue of Labour as Metro Rail work is under way at the usual place.
