republic day ticket 2018 delhi
26th January is a very special day for all Indians. This year we will celebrate 70 th Republic day of India. Every
Year on this day most of us glue ourselves in front of
the Television watching live telecast featured on Delhi Doordarshan.
Did you know: Now you can watch live telecast of republic day on Delhi Doordarshan You Tube Channel. Click to Tweet
Click the link in case you are interested to watch 2019 telecast.
For some time, I have been wondering if I could witness 70th Republic Day of India Live at Vijay Chowk for real! (enough of TV watching..yaar)
Witnessing the parade and the Colorful Procession (Jhankis) for real would be a real treat and an experience of a lifetime!
So the BIG Question, from where to buy the Tickets? And if the tickets are actually available or not? To find answers read on.
Republic day Tickets are available from 10th to 25th January. Click to Tweet
