Large participation of youth
There was an atmosphere of excitement in the area since morning. Many citizens had gathered at the pilgrimage site with the tricolor in their hands. The participation of the youth was also seen in large numbers. The three colors of the tricolor and the feeling of patriotism were visible everywhere on the road. A different energy to express pride for the country was felt among the citizens.
The main purpose of this yatra was not just to walk on the streets with the flag in hand. The idea behind this initiative is to create an emotional connection between every citizen and the national flag on the occasion of Independence Day and to take the message of the country’s unity to every household.
‘Every Home Tricolour’ campaign begins from 2022
The ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign was launched in 2022 as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ initiative. The aim of this campaign is to encourage citizens to put up the national flag at their homes and celebrate Independence Day with more enthusiasm. Over the past few years, this campaign has been receiving a huge response from across the country.
The yatra in Sambalpur was attended by local citizens and party workers. From children to the youth and the elderly, many people held the tricolor in their hands. This made it clear that the yatra was not just a political event but a celebration of public participation.
Plastic flags should not be used.
Meanwhile, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has also appealed to citizens to participate in this campaign in large numbers. However, he also raised an important issue. He expressed the need to take care of the environment while maintaining the respect of the national flag.

The Chief Minister requested the citizens not to use plastic flags and preferably use cloth tricolor. Improper disposal of plastic flags after use can have an impact on the environment. Therefore, he gave the message that while expressing patriotism, one should also take care of nature.
More activities in a few days
Programs related to the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign have started in various parts of Odisha from August 9. More activities will be organized in the next few days.

A few days before Independence Day, an atmosphere of patriotism has been created in the city.
The tricolor is not just a three-colored flag, but also the identity of the country’s independence and unity. Therefore, through such initiatives, it is seen that the national spirit is becoming stronger among the citizens. This yatra in Sambalpur has also given a new start to the enthusiasm of Independence Day.
