SRINAGAR: From Kathua to Kupwara, people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly children, are organising rallies, waving Tiranga, and are enthusiastically waiting to join ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.
The campaign is being carried out under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to encourage people to bring the Tricolour home and hoist it to mark the 75th year of India’s independence from August 13 to 15.
The idea behind the initiative is to instill a feeling of patriotism in people and to raise awareness about the Indian National Flag.
“Our relationship with the flag has always been more formal and institutional than personal. Bringing the flag home collectively as a nation in the 75th year of independence thus becomes symbolic of not only an act of personal connection to the Tiranga but also an embodiment of our commitment to nation-building,” said a group of residents in Nishat.
To mark this momentous occasion, the J&K Administration is encouraging citizens to hoist the flag in their homes from August 13 to 15. Besides, the citizens can also ‘Pin a Flag’ virtually at https://harghartiranga.com, along with posting a ‘Selfie with Flag’ on the site.
Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called upon all citizens to turn the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign into a mass movement by hoisting or displaying the national flag at their homes and using the Tricolour as display picture on their social media accounts.
