New Delhi, Jan. 26 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday paid homage to India's fallen soldiers at the National War Memorial here.

The national flag was unfurled followed by the national anthem with a booming 21-gun salute. Later, Mr Modi penned down his thoughts in the war memorial's visitor book.

This is an annual tradition post which the Republic Day Parade commences with President Ram Nath Kovind taking the salute.

Before 2020, India Gate was the chosen site for this tradition.
