As with previous years, the celebration of the 74th Independence Day was challenging due to the ongoing pandemic. Across the country, parades and events were limited, yet the spirit of patriotism remained strong.
In Delhi, Prime Minister Modi marked the occasion by hoisting the Tricolor while adhering to strict preventive measures such as social distancing and wearing masks. In his address, he extended his wishes to the nation, highlighted the recent elections in Jammu & Kashmir, applauded the efforts of frontline workers, and reiterated India's commitment to self-reliance and national development across all sectors.
Meanwhile, in Jammu & Kashmir, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha raised the flag at the Cricket Stadium in Srinagar. He expressed his best wishes to the citizens and pledged support for the development of the Union Territory, announcing additional insurance coverage for healthcare workers who have been tirelessly serving during the pandemic.
Despite the weekend lockdown orders in Jammu & Kashmir, citizens celebrated the day at their native places, taking necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. Many raised the Tricolor in their localities, paying homage to the sacrifices of freedom fighters and remembering the brave soldiers guarding the nation's borders.
Even amidst connectivity restrictions, people found ways to celebrate with their loved ones, emphasizing the importance of unity and resilience during challenging times. As the nation looks towards the future, there is a collective hope for peace, prosperity, and the eventual defeat of the common enemy, COVID-19. Citizens eagerly anticipate celebrating the next Independence Day with renewed enthusiasm and joy, envisioning a brighter and healthier future for all.
