From Kathua to Kupwara, people of J&K enthusiastic for ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’
SRINAGAR: The J&K government on Saturday said that from Kathua to Kupwara, people of J&K UT, particularly children were organising rallies, waving Tiranga and are enthusiastically waiting to join ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.
The campaign is being celebrated under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to encourage people to bring the Tiranga 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 invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and to promote awareness about the Indian National Flag,” the official handout reads.
“Our relationship with the flag has always been more formal and institutional than personal,” the handout reads.
The government said bringing the flag home collectively as a nation in the 75th year of independence becomes symbolic of not only an act of personal connection to the Tiranga but also an embodiment of our commitment to nation-building.
To mark this momentous occasion, the J&K Administration is encouraging citizens to hoist the flag in their homes from 13th to 15th August 2022 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 of their social media accounts, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence day.
The J&K Government has also launched National Anthem Singing Competition 2022 for which anyone above the age of 13 can register upto 7th August 2022 on the portal https://tinyurl.com/NatAnthemdiprjk .
The J&K Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha recently chaired a meeting of senior officials to review the preparations for Har Ghar Tiranga campaign in J&K UT.
He instructed the officers for identification of the families and houses of freedom fighters where Police Bands will play tunes, besides organising one week Prabhat Pheri programs involving students, NCC cadets and NSS volunteers celebrating the memory of heroes of our freedom struggle.
“Home Department would ensure Tricolor is hoisted at all the offices of its different wings including all Police Stations besides Swachhata Abhiyan shall be organised at all the panchayats as well as urban areas,” the handout reads.
