Major Jerry Blaize and Captain Supreetha C T, a married couple from different regiments, will march together in the Republic Day parade.
Major Jerry Blaize and Captain Supreetha C T are all set to become the first couple to march down the Kartavya Path as members of two different contingents in the Republic Day parade on January 26.
"This is a first in the history of the Republic Day parades," Major Blaize told PTI.
The couple, who got married in June 2023, said it was a sheer coincidence that they were getting to march together on the occasion.
"This did not happen in a planned way. It is a coincidence. Initially, I gave my selection test and got through. Then my husband also got selected from his regiment," Captain Supreetha said.
They were part of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) during college.
"My wife took part in the NCC Republic Day parade in 2016 at the Kartavya Path, New Delhi and I got the opportunity to be part of the NCC Republic Day camp in 2014 New Delhi. This was also one of the motivating factors for me to lead my regiment in the Republic Day 2024 at Kartavya path and make my regiment proud," Major Blaize said.
