Ahead of the 78th Independence Day, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) organized a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in Shillong on Wednesday as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign. CRPF personnel paraded through the streets, waving the national flag and singing patriotic songs in celebration of the upcoming Independence Day.
The ‘Tiranga Yatra’ is a component of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan,’ a campaign initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to foster nationalism by encouraging citizens to display the national flag at their homes.
Additionally, the Army Training Command (ARTRAC) launched a Tiranga bike rally in Shimla as part of the same initiative. In Krishnanagar, West Bengal, the Border Security Force (BSF) also organized a ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ bike rally.
BSF DIG Sanjay Kumar emphasized the campaign’s message, stating, “We want every citizen to take pride in their country and hoist the national flag at their homes. We are distributing flags and promoting unity and diversity to our neighboring countries. We hope to see ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ on August 15.”
Prime Minister Modi, during the 112th episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on July 28, encouraged all Indians to engage in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign for Independence Day.
The third edition of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav initiative, is being observed from August 9 to 15 to mark the Independence Day. Launched in 2021, this campaign aims to inspire patriotism and raise awareness about the Indian National Flag as part of the 75th anniversary of India’s independence.
