We have decided that Tiranga Yatra will be taken out in panchayats as well," CM Fadnavis said."A large number of people participated in this Yatra, which shows their support for the armed forces and PM Modi," he added.

Proud to see our tricolor flying high in the Himalayas! 🇮🇳 These yatras unite us in honoring our brave soldiers who protect our borders day and night. The Pangi area's harsh terrain makes this even more special - shows true patriotism!

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish such events focused more on soldiers' welfare rather than politics. Our jawans need better equipment and facilities at borders. Hope some funds from these yatras actually reach their families.

Bharat Mata Ki Jai! 🚩 Seeing the tricolor at 13,000 ft gives me goosebumps. This is the real spirit of India - from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from plains to peaks, we stand united for our forces. More power to such initiatives!

As someone from Himachal, I'm proud but also concerned about the environmental impact of such large gatherings in fragile mountain ecosystems. Can we find ways to express patriotism while protecting our precious Himalayas?

The Pangi valley is one of the most remote areas near the China border. This yatra sends a strong message to our neighbors that every inch of India, no matter how difficult to reach, is loved and protected by its citizens. Jai Hind!

While the enthusiasm is good, I hope we also remember soldiers who sacrificed their lives in peacetime - during avalanches, extreme weather, and routine patrolling. Their stories deserve equal recognition beyond political events.
