Today is Republic Day and on this day the national flag is hoisted with great pride along with the national anthem. On this day, the President of India also hoists the tricolour flag at India Gate in Delhi. Today, since morning the whole country is covered with clouds and people are breathing heavily due to the cold. The soldiers of our army and paramilitary forces stationed on the border are celebrating Republic Day with great pride while being deployed to protect the borders of the country. In the freezing cold, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) Himveers hoisted the tricolour flag on the Ladakh border at an altitude of 15000 feet in -35 degree temperature.
