The J&K government has launched a major campaign to encourage the people in Kashmir to hoist the Tricolour in offices, schools and homes on Independence Day.
A government spokesman said contests would be organised in painting, national anthem singing, essay writing and debating. Quizzes and seminars would also be organised in government colleges and schools in all the districts. Topics include national symbols, national monuments and the freedom struggle.
The hoisting of the Tricolour is part of the country-wide Har Ghar Tiranga campaign to mark India’s 75th year of Independence.
