To find a creative and safer way to mark the celebrations and to sow their gratitude towards COVID warriors, the army thought of executing this idea.
It has already begun since August 1 and will last till August 15. Military bands have already performed in Porbandar, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Raipur, Amritsar, Guwahati, Allahabad and Kolkata.
However, the military bands are preparing their shows in advance which is likely to be telecasted on Independence Day.
The military and police bands are scheduled to perform in Srinagar and Kolkata on August 7, the statement from Defence ministry read.
