J-K: Tiranga rally organised under 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign ahead of I-Day in Pulwama

Pulwama, August 9

As the nation gears up for its 80th Independence Day, a massive Tiranga Rally was organised in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on Sunday as part of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign.

The rally, which saw participation from hundreds of students, local youth, and government officials, aimed to instil a sense of patriotism and mark the celebrations of the national festival.

The initiative was organised as part of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign and aimed at encouraging citizens to celebrate the Tricolour not merely as a national symbol but as an embodiment of India's unity, sovereignty and shared national identity.

Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2022 under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign encourages citizens to hoist the National Flag at their homes and develop a personal connection with the Tricolour. The campaign also seeks to honour the sacrifices of freedom fighters and strengthen the spirit of patriotism among citizens.

This year's celebrations will have a special focus on the commemoration of 150 years of 'Vande Mataram'. Various activities will be organised across districts, blocks and panchayats as part of the campaign.

The major components of Har Ghar Tiranga 2026 will include Tiranga rallies and processions, exhibitions, Tiranga concerts, bike and cycle rallies, tricolour lighting of important locations, decorations and Rangoli programmes. Special activities will also be organised under the theme "Tiranga Salute to the Spirit of Vande Mataram", along with the popular "Selfie with Tiranga" initiative.

The National Flag will be hoisted at households and government offices during the campaign period.

The campaign has since become an important part of Independence Day-related celebrations, with citizens encouraged to participate by displaying the Tricolour and reaffirming their respect for the nation and its history.

Excellent initiative. It's inspiring that the campaign is being embraced beyond just Delhi and urban centers, reaching even remote districts like Pulwama. The personal connection with the flag is a wonderful concept to build national pride.

Nice initiative, but let's also focus on the ground realities. While these rallies are good, development, education, and opportunities for the youth of Kashmir are equally important. Hope these events translate into sustained progress for the region.
