R-Day: Tableau by labour ministry to depict changes brought in by labour reforms
India will celebrate its 72nd Republic Day on January 26. The country's Constitution came into effect on this day in 1950.
A tableau by the Ministry of Labour and Employment at the Republic Day parade this year will depict the labour reforms brought in by the government in the recent past, a press release issued by the ministry said. The theme of the tableau will be ‘respect for hard work and equal rights for all’.
"The tableau art portrays the transformation that will come into the life of organised and unorganised workers after the implementation of the recent labour codes. The design thought is a celebration of all-round well-being and security of the workers," the ministry said.

However, celebrations across the nation this year are expected to be dampened due to the coronavirus pandemic. The parade that takes place in the national Capital will also have a few regular features missing, such as stunts on motorcycles by the forces and veterans’ parade by ex-servicemen and women.
