Independence Day 2020 in pictures: How it was celebrated

The 74th Independence Day celebrations everywhere in India were held with restraint due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following all the restrictions and guidelines that several states issued, many institutes still celebrated the day but in most places, without the involvement of students.
