A custom made emoji has been launched by Twitter India on Friday to celebrate India's 71st Republic day. Twitter India has specifically designed an emoji of India Gate lit up in tricolours which will be tweeted by President Ram Nath Kovind's twitter handle on January 25 during his address to the nation. It is the fifth year of the social media platform's support to Republic day in India with an emoji. On the other hand, security has been beefed up ahead of the Republic Day celebrations in the national capital. On Republic Day, a total of 48 Company Paramilitary, 17,000 Delhi Police personnel, 2,700 Delhi Police personnel in plainclothes will monitor.
