AGARTALA, Jan 23 (TIWN): Tripura will not be represented in the Republic Day parade in New Delhi through a tableau for the second consecutive year. The last time a tableau was selected and showcased from Tripura in the Republic Day parade in Delhi was 2013.

This year, like the previous ones, there has been no initiative from the state government to include their representation when most states vie for a spot.A total of 25 tableaux will roll down Rajpath at this year's Republic Day parade depicting India's vivid art and culture, contribution to science and technology and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Jan Dhan Yojna' as well as 'Make In India' campaigns.

The tableaux will show India's varied cultural diversity, development in science and technology and recent campaigns launched by the government. The defence ministry organises the parade.Over 1,400 artists, fabricators, designers and visualisers were involved in the making of the tableaux.
