At least 93,000 flags will be availed by the administration in the Ladakh division, which was separated from Jammu Kashmir after the unilateral abrogation of Article 370 on August 05, 2019.
Deputy Commissioner and CEO, LAHDC, Kargil Santosh Sukhadeve, in this regard, chaired a meeting to review and discuss preparations for the same.
The flags are being availed as a part of the “celebrations” of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ event.
The CEO said that as many as 50,000 flags would be provided by the Centre while an additional 18,000 flags will be made available by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department with the help of Self Help Groups and local artisans and 25,000 by the Culture Department.
The DC instructed AD Tourism to ensure the hoisting of the National Flag at all commercial buildings like hotels, shops, and other business establishments.
Meanwhile, Jammu Kashmir BJP President Ravinder Raina said that his party would provide national flags for hoisting by the common masses in J&K under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called upon every Indian citizen to hoist Tiranga on the rooftops of the houses on the 75th year of Indian Independence from British rule. BJP has also opened up a window at party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar so that the general masses could procure Tiranga with ease. This facility will also be extended to the party’s district headquarters soon,“ Raina said.
