Prime Minister Narendra Modi will raise the national flag at the Red Fort in New Delhi and give his 12th speech in a row to mark the 79th Independence Day. Preparations are in full swing at the Red Fort. Thousands of people including special guests, senior government leaders, defence officers, and athletes will attend the event. When the Prime Minister hoists the tricolour, everyone will join in singing the national anthem. This year’s theme is Naya Bharat (New India). The celebration will also highlight the success of Operation Sindoor.
Security has been tightened to make sure the programme goes smoothly. A day earlier, senior army officers who played key roles in Operation Sindoor, India’s military action after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam were honoured. In addition, 23 members of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) received gallantry awards for their bravery.
On the evening before Independence Day, President Droupadi Murmu addressed the nation. She strongly condemned the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, calling it “cowardly and completely inhuman.” She also praised the armed forces for showing clear strategy and strong technical skills in destroying terrorist bases across the border.
