The “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign under the aegis of Azadi ka Amrit Mohatsav is a big hit in Jammu and Kashmir, with a large number of people joining the celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of India’s Independence.
Common citizens, politicians, and soldiers are jointly campaigning to show patriotism toward the country. In Kupwara, the councillor of Ward 4 Lateef Ahmad, hoisted the National Flag at his residence to mark the celebrations. People in the Kashmir Valley are willingly and enthusiastically hoisting flags at their buildings—be they homes, hotels, or restaurants. The Tricolour is also flying high in many public places, like Lal Chowk in Srinagar and Kokila Chowk in Kishtwar. In Pulwama, the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign has gained momentum as students, besides taking active part in essay, painting and singing competitions, are also participating in Tiranga rallies in all educational institutions in the district. People in Anantnag district have also begun to fly tricolour flags from their rooftops. “The locals are very happy and are in a positive mood for this campaign,” said a local resident.
The the Army also joined the campaign by hoisting the national flag at their posts.
