Itanagar, Jan 26: On January 26, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) jawans celebrated the 75th Republic Day of India with patriotic fervor at the peaks of the Indo-China border in Arunachal Pradesh.
Guarding the challenging and remote terrains along the Indo-China border, including Arunachal Pradesh, the ITBP jawans showcased their national pride by unfurling the Indian flag and chanting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ slogans.

This display of patriotism by the ITBP jawans coincided with the nation’s platinum celebration of Republic Day, observed with grandeur at Kartavya Path in the national capital.
The New Delhi event featured a parade showcasing India’s military capabilities, cultural diversity, and the theme of women empowerment, with an all-women Tri-Service contingent and women pilots participating in the fly-past.
The Republic Day celebrations this year were particularly special as they followed the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ commemorating 75 years of independence. French President Emmanuel Macron graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, reflecting the strong ties between India and France.
In Arunachal Pradesh, the ITBP jawans’ observance of Republic Day not only represents their unwavering spirit but also serves as a reminder of the recent tensions in the Tawang sector, where a face-off with Chinese troops occurred in December 2022.
Despite such challenges, the ITBP continues to stand guard and celebrate the nation’s democratic values and achievements with pride and honor.
