Nagaland: The BJP’s Nagaland unit will hold ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ and ‘Tiranga Yatra’ campaigns with a range of events across the state from August 11 to 15 to mark India’s 79th Independence Day.
Addressing a press conference at the party office, BJP Nagaland chief spokesperson N Kakuto Chishi said ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ has transformed from a campaign into a people’s movement.
“It encourages every citizen to bring the ‘Tiranga’ home and hoist it proudly. Earlier, the national flag was seen mostly on government buildings—today, it represents personal freedom and pride,” he said.
On August 11, the party will organize a medical camp for inmates in all 11 district jails. Additionally, party office bearers will visit the Deaf Biblical Ministry at Naharbari, Dimapur.
On August 13, the tricolour will be hoisted at the BJP head office in Kohima and in all the 14 districts and 60 mandal offices, which will be followed by the Tiranga bike yatra in the districts. A cleanliness drive will also be conducted in all 60 mandals.
On August 14, the party will observe the ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’ across the state. The day is commemorated every year on August 14 to remind the present and future generations of India about the pain and suffering faced by the people of India during the partition.
