Amit Shah Urges People To Raise National Flag At Home Between Aug 13-15

Mr Shah said the national flags will be available in post offices, cooperative societies, municipal corporations, and e-commerce websites.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday urged the public to raise the national flag atop their houses, shops and factories between August 13 and 15 as part of the Centre's 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' celebration.

The programme, as announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was meant to raise awareness among children and youth about the country's achievement in terms of development in the last 75 years since independence and to inculcate a sense of patriotism, Mr Shah said at an event in Manipur locality of Ahmedabad.

Mr Shah, the Lok Sabha member from Gandhinagar, was speaking after remotely inaugurating a water supply project for Bopal and Ghuma localities under the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority in Gujarat, where the Assembly polls are due later this year.

This will ensure pure Narmada drinking water to 70,000 households, he said.
