Rajouri hosts Tiranga Rally featuring a 2-kilometre-long National Flag

The rally saw a huge participation of people filling the atmosphere with patriotic fervour. Police officials were also stationed to maintain tight security.

Earlier, on Wednesday, the Bhaderwah valley witnessed a vibrant Tiranga Rally organised by the Jammu and Kashmir Police, led by SDPO Bhaderwah, who joined police, students, and locals in waving a 100-meter national flag, thereby spreading patriotism and unity.

Speaking on the occasion, SDPO Bhaderwah Shoket Ali said, "Like in other parts of the country, Bhaderwah also witnessed a grand Tiranga Rally today to send out a strong message of patriotism and national pride."

He added that the event aimed to strengthen the spirit of unity and remind the youth of the sacrifices made for India's freedom.

The rally began from the New Bus Stand Kotli, wove through key streets, and culminated at the historic Seri Bazaar.

A spectacular highlight was the display of a 100-meter-long national flag that evoked loud cheers and applause from the crowd. Enthusiasts lined the route, waving flags and chanting slogans such as "Tiranga Hamare Jaan Hai, Tiranga Hamare Shaan Hai."

Speaking to ANI, NCC cadet Akshay said, "It was a proud moment to walk with such a huge Tiranga. This will always stay in my memory."

As the rally ended, Bhaderwah echoed with chants of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai," setting an inspiring tone for the upcoming Independence Day celebrations.
