There were more drivers than heroes at the parade. So many vehicles, of all shapes, colours and figures. Some carry tableaux, some carry heroes, some carry commanders.

Despite such a large number of vehicles, one couldn't miss Vinod Kumar's vehicle. The longest vehicle at the parade, it carried the Agni II missile.

"I am here for the first time. And what a privilege for me," says the veteran army driver.
