BJP’s 'Har Ghar Tiranga' yatra kick starts in Bhubaneswar ahead of Independence Day

As India is all geared up to celebrate the 77th Independence Day on Tuesday, the State unit of the BJP organised Har Ghar Tiranga rally in Bhubaneswar on Monday.

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, MP Aparajita Sarangi, district unit president Babu Singh and other party workers took part in the Tiranga Yatra organised by the Bhubaneswar Organisational district of the party.  

The saffron party workers with over 1 km-long Tricolour began the rally from Lingaraj Temple. The rally will culminate at Master Canteen Square.

Notably, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who oversees all efforts under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, had approved ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ programme which envisages inspiring Indians to hoist the national flag at their home.

As part of 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, the Culture Ministry has supplied around 2.5 crore national flags to post offices for sale. 

Besides, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also urged people to take part in the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' movement between August 13 and 15 while saying the tiranga symbolises the spirit of freedom and national unity.
