To Launch Har Ghar Tiranga 2.0…
The "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign started again this year.
It was launched by PM Narendra Modi in 2022 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence.
Members of Parliament started the bike rally.
MPs and ministers gathered at Pragati Maidan with tricolor flags on their bikes to encourage public participation.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar flagged it off on Friday morning around 8 am.
The bike rally reached the India Gate circle. It then circled around the India Gate complex, crossing the Kartavya Path, and culminating at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium.
In this campaign, people will be encouraged to hoist the national flag at their homes.
It will be celebrated across India from August 13 to August 15, as part of the "Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav" -- the government's initiative to mark 75 years of India's Independence.
The campaign was very successful last year, with crores of families hoisting the tricolour at their homes, and six crore people uploading selfies on the Har Ghar Tiranga website.
This initiative by the government aims to focus on the freedom struggle, and the milestones this nation has achieved, the culture ministry has said.
