BSF soldier in Republic Day parade for record 18th time
BSF soldier Dara Singh on Friday marched in the Republic Day parade for a record 18th time. The soldier, who first marched on the Rajpath in 1996, is 47 years old and is posted in Meghalaya. The usual age profile for the parade is around 30 years, but Singh's discipline distinguishes him from others, the BSF commander said.
