On Friday, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar flagged off a ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ bike rally of MPs in Delhi. The rally began from Pragati Maidan and culminated at the Major Dhyan Chand stadium after passing through the India Gate circle. Meanwhile, ahead of the Independence Day celebrations, Delhi police have stepped up checks, and security measures across the National Capital, police officials said on Friday.

 

Under the aegis of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM), ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ will be celebrated across the nation from August 13 to 15 during which people will be encouraged to hoist the national flag at their homes, the Union Culture Ministry said. AKAM is an ongoing celebration to commemorate 75 years of India’s independence. The initiative is aimed at bringing in focus on the freedom struggle, and the milestones this nation has achieved, the Ministry said. “The idea behind the campaign is to instil the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of people and reminisce the journey of India and those who have contributed towards creating this great nation.

 

Last year, this campaign witnessed immense success wherein crores of households hoisted the ‘Tiranga’ at their homes physically and six crore people uploaded selfies on ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ website,” it said. 5 LAKH TRICOLOURS TO BE DISTRIBUTED IN HARYANA: Five lakh national flags will be distributed in Haryana under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, which will be run by the Department of Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs from August 13 to 15, an official statement said on Friday.
