Guard of Honour for President Barack Obama Led by Wing Commander Pooja
Thakur
A woman officer, Wing Commander Pooja Thakur, led
the ceremonial Guard of Honour for US President Barack Obama at the Rashtrapati
Bhavan today.
President Obama was given a 21-gun salute at the forecourt of the majestic presidential palace, after which Wing Commander Thakur walked him for the inspection of the Guard of Honour. She is the first woman officer to lead a tri-services Guard of Honour.
The gesture reflects the theme for this year's Republic Day parade, which is "Nari Shakti (woman power)".
