Jaipur to host first Army Day parade
Jaipur is going to have its first Army Day parade on January 15.
This is a big deal because usually, the parade happens in Delhi.
The parade will be on Mahal Road, which is not in an Army area, so more people can watch.
There are a lot of ex-soldiers and their families in Jaipur, and the Army is also showing how they help people with health problems.
The Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan is happy that Jaipur is hosting this event.
The parade will also show how the Army keeps us safe.
Jaipur will host its first Army Day parade on January 15, 2024, on Mahal Road.
The parade will be held outside an Army cantonment to allow citizens to witness the Indian Army's courage and valour up close.
South Western Command has around 3.70 lakh ex-servicemen and nearly 7 lakh dependent family members.
There are about 31,000 heart patients and nearly 16,000 orthopaedic patients among the ex-servicemen.
Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari attended a medical camp for ex-servicemen, war widows, and their family members as the chief guest.
