New Delhi:

As India prepares to celebrate its 78th Independence Day on August 15, ‘Tiranga’ rallies are being taken out across the country under the Centre’s ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign. From Delhi to Srinagar, streets are illuminated with the Tricolour lightening. 

The ‘Tiranga Yatra’ was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to instill a sense of nationalism by encouraging citizens to display the national flag at their homes. It was launched under the banner of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav in 2022.

The third edition of the campaign is being celebrated from August 9 to 15 this year to mark the 78th Independence Day. 

This nationwide campaign has seen active participation from all states and union territories, along with key industry partners, including the Indian armed forces, Central Armed Police Forces, and the civil aviation sector.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also participated in ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ rally in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. The yatra featured a 2,151-foot-long Tricolor carried by participants, including school teachers and personnel from various forces.

A festive spirit reigns in Kashmir ahead of Independence Day with several ‘Tiranga’ rallies being organised and tricolour fluttering proudly from key buildings.

One such rally was carried out by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on the road along the famous Dal Lake in Srinagar. 

The CRPF on Wednesday took out ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Rally’ in Greater Noida to mark the Independence Day celebrations.

Personnel of the VIP security and protection wing based in the Central Reserve Police Force’s (CRPF) group centre in Greater Noida met locals, children, panchayat members and public representatives as part of the initiative, a senior officer of the paramilitary force said.

Ahmedabad:

Union Home Minister Amit Shah participated in ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ rally in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.

“This Tiranga Yatra is designed to ignite the spirit of patriotism among the youth across India. I urge everyone that on August 15 not a single house in Gujarat should be without our national flag. The next 25 years mark our ‘Amrit Kaal,’ a period where the youth must unite to propel India to the top of the world stage,” the Home Minister said.

The yatra featured a 2,151-foot-long Tricolor carried by participants, including school teachers and personnel from various forces.

“Under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, our flag now proudly flies on the Moon, a feat no other nation has achieved before. We’ve also triumphed over terrorism and led the global fight against COVID-19 with our vaccines,” the Home Minister said.

The yatra aims to inspire patriotism among citizens in line with the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ initiative, which began on August 9 and will conclude on August 15 as part of the Independence Day celebrations.

This nationwide campaign has seen active participation from all states and union territories, along with key industry partners, including the Indian armed forces, Central Armed Police Forces, and the civil aviation sector.

On August 10, BJP National President J.P. Nadda inaugurated the Tiranga Yatra in Rajkot, emphasising Gujarat’s pivotal role in India’s ongoing development.

“India is in the making, and Gujarat plays a huge role. This independence didn’t come easily. Thousands of soldiers lost their lives, and lakhs of families sacrificed their loved ones, putting the country above their interests,” said Mr Nadda.
