Tiranga rallies held across Kashmir; L-G says Tricolour flying high as India's living conscience
Patriotic fervour has gripped Kashmir ahead of Independence Day with several Tiranga rallies and yatras being held across the Valley on Wednesday, August 12.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha led a Tiranga rally on the banks of Dal Lake here as hundreds of people marched alongside him, officials said.
"A truly historic day! Proud to join the Tiranga Yatra and address the public in Srinagar today. On this sacred soil, the Tricolour is flying high as India's living conscience and Vande Mataram echoes as its immortal voice. It embodies our shared strength, unity, and unwavering patriotism," Sinha said in a post on his personal X account.
A Tiranga rally was held in Shopian district, with the deputy commissioner and the senior superintendent of police of the district taking part in the event, officials said.
Another Tiranga rally on bikes was carried out on Tuesday in Shopian, which was once a hotbed of militancy.
Tiranga rallies were also held in Kulgam, Anantnag, Pulwama, Tral, Pampore and Awantipora areas of South Kashmir.
More such events have been planned in the Valley ahead of Independence Day as authorities prepare for a full dress rehearsal of the functions on Thursday.
