New Delhi: Ahead of Independence Day celebrations, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) on Tuesday organised a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in which around 5,000 students from its Atal Adarsh and Navyug schools took part.
The march began from Janpath Radial Circle at Connaught Place, filling the inner circle with the Tricolour and patriotic fervour, an official statement of NDMC said.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, joined by Delhi minister Parvesh Verma, NDMC Chairman Keshav Chandra, Vice-Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal, and other senior officials, flagged off the rally. Speaking to the gathering, she said, “With the Tricolour held high, thousands moved forward today in a collective tribute to our freedom, letting the streets, the skies, and the winds resound with the spirit of India.”
The Chief Minister emphasised that honouring the nation’s heroes goes beyond ceremonial occasions. “It lies in fulfilling our civic responsibilities, keeping our surroundings clean, conserving water and electricity, protecting our environment, and working together for a developed India,” she said, urging Delhiites to make the city “the most beautiful capital in the world.”
