Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said Independence Day is an occasion to remember the country’s journey and achievements while reaffirming the commitment to its future.

She said, “August 15 is not only a celebration of independence, but also an opportunity to remember India’s glorious journey and achievements. Since independence, India has overcome numerous challenges and made remarkable progress in various fields, including development, science, technology, economy, education and infrastructure. This journey is a story of the hard work, determination and collective contribution of crores of citizens of the country. Every nation’s journey comes with challenges and scope for improvement, but Independence Day gives us an opportunity to look back at where we started and how far we have come today. While taking pride in India’s achievements, we should make even bigger commitments for the years ahead.”

The Chief Minister also urged Delhi residents to actively participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign by hoisting the Tricolour at their homes and sharing selfies with the national flag on social media. She said, “This is not merely a campaign, but a collective expression of respect, pride and unity towards the nation.”
