Coimbatore: In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Coimbatore City Armed Reserve Police are gearing up to present a Wagah-style parade during the Independence Day celebrations on August 15 at the VOC Grounds. This innovative addition to the festivities aims to bring a slice of the iconic India-Pakistan border ceremony to the city.
