New Delhi, Sep 30 (PTI) There will be no change of guard ceremony on October 3, the President’s office said on Wednesday.

The ceremony is a military tradition held every week to enable a fresh group of the President’s Bodyguard (PBG) to take charge.

The PBG, raised in 1773, is the senior-most regiment of the Indian Army and carries out ceremonial duties for the President of India.

“The Change of Guard Ceremony will not take place on October 3, 2026, at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan,” it said in a statement.

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.
