Lucknow, Jul 31 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has called upon the people of the state to enthusiastically participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign and has set a target of hoisting the national flag at five crore households across the state.
The chief minister said, “‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ is not merely a campaign, but a national movement that connects every citizen with patriotism, respect for the national flag, and India’s glorious history. It should be transformed into a mass movement through broad public participation.” He also directed that the national song and the national anthem be mandatorily screened in all cinema halls across the state on August 14 and 15, the UP government said in a statement on Friday.
During a high-level meeting, the chief minister reviewed preparations for the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, Independence Day celebrations, and Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, the statement said.
“Uttar Pradesh has set an example for the entire country by making the campaign a grand success through unprecedented public participation in previous years,” he said, and said that all government, semi-government, aided departments and institutions, local bodies, educational institutions, gram panchayats, fair price ration shops, industrial and commercial establishments and social organisations should hoist the tricolour on their buildings.
He emphasised that coordinated efforts would ensure the campaign’s unprecedented success.
Major government buildings, railway stations, bus terminals, airports, public places, prominent markets, and major intersections will be decorated on the tricolour theme. Schools and colleges will organise exhibitions on freedom fighters, singing of Vande Mataram, painting competitions and other patriotic activities to connect the younger generation with the history of India’s freedom movement, it said.
The meeting also reviewed preparations for Partition Horrors Remembrance Day to be observed on August 14.
The chief minister said, “The tragedy of India’s Partition should not be viewed merely as a chapter of history but should be presented to the younger generation as an inspiration to preserve national unity and integrity. Programmes should be organised to help young people understand the pain of Partition, the displacement of millions, and the true history of their struggles.” He directed that exhibitions on the horrors of Partition be organised on August 14 at every district headquarters.
