Digital Jyot glows brighter with every tribute posted

A beam of light installed by the government at Central Park in New Delhi to pay tribute to freedom fighters has been getting brighter with each message posted, with 34 lakh messages having been sent as on Sunday, according to those involved with the project.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday tweeted about “Digital Jyot”, the beam of light at Central Park in Connaught Place, and asked people to send in their messages at digitaltribute.in to make the beam brighter. Installed on March 12, the beam gets brighter as more messages paying tribute to freedom fighters are posted by the public on the website.

The individual messages are also played on a screen at Central Park as a part of the initiative to mark 75 years of Independence.
