LG flags off 'Har Ghar Tiranga' rally at Dal Lake

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha flagged off the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' rally at the Dal Lake here on Friday.

Tricolors flying on hundreds of Shikaras under the district administration's 'Tiranga Utsav' rowed together in the iconic lake as part of the celebrations commemorating the 75 years of Independence, an official spokesman said.

He said the rally commenced with the police pipe band playing the national anthem, adding, that the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign under the aegis of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' is witnessing huge participation from the people.

''Tiranga Utsav is a celebration of ideals and aspirations of the country,'' LG Sinha said. I appeal to everyone to join this campaign by hoisting the national flag atop their houses from August 13th to 15th, he added.
