Nadda attends Tiranga Yatra in Solan

BJP national president and Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare JP Nadda participated in the Tiranga Yatra

held here today. The programme aimed at honouring the Indian armed forces following ‘Operation Sindoor’ in response to the horrific Pahalgam terror attack.

The campaign, being held nationwide, aims to instil a sense of national pride and unity among citizens, emphasising a message of patriotism, national solidarity and respect for the Tricolour.

Nadda, who arrived in the afternoon, was driven in a vehicle bedecked with flowers and was flanked by leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur and state president Dr Rajiv Bindal besides Shimla MP Suresh Kashyap.

Nadda waved to the party workers who were seen marching beside him holding party flags.

The programme, however, caused inconvenience the common man as the Mall Road was closed for traffic for nearly an hour. People had to trudge in the hot weather for nearly 2 km to reach their destinations, including hospitals as well as the main market. With no vehicle permitted beyond Saproon Chownk and no prior information by the police regarding the closure of the road, people were put through a lot of inconvenience.

Additional SP Rajkumar Chandel said that there was a partial need-based closure of the road after seeking permission from the SDM.

However, SDM Solan Dr Punam Bansal said that owing to delay in seeking permission for closure of the Mall Road, the information could not be publicised.
