Leh (Ladakh) [India], August 14: Ahead of the 78th Independence Day, the Indian Army held a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ from Col. Rinchen’s Memorial to the Hall of Fame in Leh, Ladakh. Army personnel marched, waving the tricolour and singing patriotic songs.
The ‘Tiranga Yatra’ is part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan’ launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to instill nationalism by encouraging citizens to display the national flag at their homes.

Ajay Kumar Yadav, IG, Srinagar Sector CRPF, said, “Given ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’, Srinagar Sector CRPF has organized a walkathon. As part of this, CRPF jawans are participating. The motive of this ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ rally is to invoke a sense of respect for the Tiranga among people and give them a message. We are very happy to organize this.”
In Telangana, CRPF organized a rally from Parade Ground in Chandrayan Gutta to Charminar in Hyderabad as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan’.
Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah participated in ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan’ in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, where he said that the ‘Abhiyan’ is not just a display of patriotism but also a resolution to build a developed India by 2047. “The ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign started by PM Modi is not just an expression of patriotism, but it is a resolution to make a Viksit Bharat by 2047. We will enter the 78th year of Independence on August 15. Make sure that no house, building, office, or vehicle remains without the tricolour,” Shah said.
In the 112th ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on July 28, Prime Minister Modi called upon all Indians to take part in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to celebrate Independence Day. ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ is a campaign that forms part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. It was started in 2021 to encourage people to bring the Tiranga home and to hoist it to mark the 75th year of India’s independence. The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and promote awareness about the Indian National Flag.
