The themes of the tableaux sound very relevant, especially 'Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir' and 'Road Safety'. It's good to see awareness campaigns being integrated into such national celebrations. Well done to the organizers.

Holding the main parade in Jammu is a significant gesture. It reinforces that J&K is an integral and celebrated part of India. The cultural programme on "Aaj Ka Hindustan" must have been beautiful. Wishing everyone a happy Republic Day in advance!

While the parade and spirit are commendable, I hope the substantial funds and effort put into these rehearsals translate into tangible benefits for the common people of Jammu & Kashmir throughout the year. That would be the real celebration of the Republic.

The participation of school students and NCC cadets is the best part! Instilling patriotism and discipline in the youth is crucial. "Vande Bharatam" presentation must have been a sight to see. Can't wait for the live telecast on the 26th!
