Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Tuesday inaugurate ‘Ámrit Vatika’, a special memorial garden at Kartavya Path in the national capital, marking the culmination of celebrations commemorating 75 years of India’s Independence.
The closing ceremony of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, the programme celebrating 75 years of India’s Independence, will also see Mr. Modi address citizens from across the country, who have assembled at the national capital carrying soil in urns from their villages and cities.
On Monday, over 25,000 citizens from 7,000 blocks of 766 districts of the country marched on Kartavya Path singing patriotic songs accompanied by cultural presentations. Representatives from all States and Union Territories poured soil and rice carried in urns from their home towns into a giant pitcher called the ‘Amrit Kalash’. The programme included band performances by soldiers of the Border Security Force, the Central Industrial Security Force, and the Central Reserve Police Force.
