New Delhi: The central government has decided to launch ‘Har Ghar Jhanda’ campaign on August 15, under which people will be encouraged to hoist the national flag over their houses on Independence Day.
As per the information, the ministry has urged people to hoist the Tricolour at their homes, institutions and establishments and also sing the National Anthem with family to mark the celebration of Independence Day on August 15.
Technical assistance will also be provided to the common citizens, so that they can download and play the National Anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ on their phones via the Logbagh mobile app.
According to Union Culture and Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy, arrangements are being made to hoist the Tricolour at about 2,000 ASI protected monuments across the country. Furthermore, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will be roped in to encourage people living in the vicinity of protected sites to participate in the campaign in large numbers.
The government has decided not to distribute flags for the campaign. Instead, people are expected to purchase flags on their own so that they should have a sense of pride.
According to the officials of the Archaeological Survey of India, residents of nearby villages and towns will also be invited for the grand flag hoisting at 2,000 monuments to ignite patriotism among people.
