India celebrates Navy Day on December 4 to commemorate the Indian Navy’s attack on the Karachi harbour during the 1971 war against Pakistan.

Navy Day was celebrated in Visakhapatnam last year, the first time it was taken outside New Delhi. The Indian Army and the Indian Air Force organised their annual parades in Bengaluru and Chandigarh last year. This year’s Air Force Day parade will be held at Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh on October 8.
