Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi for leading the country to new heights, stating that under his guidance, the Tripura government is also focused on enhancing all sectors, following his example.
“The country has achieved great heights today under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Tripura government is also striving to move the state forward in the direction guided by the prime minister. The government is working towards the overall development of Tripura by improving all sectors, including health, education, agriculture, and sports. This time, too, the prime minister has called for observing the Har Ghar Tiranga program with due dignity, which means honouring those who have sacrificed for the country,” said Saha.
Saha made these remarks during the launch of the Tiranga Yatra at Umakanta Ground in Agartala on Tuesday morning, an event organised by the state government. He highlighted that the Har Ghar Tiranga program aims to stir patriotic feelings among the public.
“The country comes first, before anything else. Various programs have been organised with this goal in mind. Social organisations in the private sector are conducting various programs as well. As part of the Har Ghar Tiranga program, a tricolour walk was organised today, with participation from people of various professions, including government officials, and school and college students. Such programs are being held in various sub-divisions and districts throughout the state,” said Saha.
The chief minister also noted that consultations have been held at multiple levels to guarantee the success of the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign.
“We hoisted the national flag even before 2022. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi insisted that the national flag should be hoisted in every household. Tripura government took appropriate measures to make this happen,” he added.
“According to 2022 statistics, there are 8.5 lakh houses in Tripura. The government took the initiative to produce national flags of different sizes in proportion to this number. Responding to the government’s call, the people of the state have come forward to make the Har Ghar Tiranga program a success. We have seen many prime ministers before, but I have never witnessed such passion from any of them before. This patriotic sentiment is only possible because of PM Modi. Additionally, we must take an oath to move the country and the state forward,” he said.
The event was attended by Agartala Municipal Corporation Mayor and MLA Dipak Majumder, social worker Rajib Bhattacharya, and ICA Department Secretary PK Chakraborty. Following the ceremony, the chief minister and other dignitaries joined a vibrant procession through the capital city, proudly carrying the national flag.
