Ahead of the 80th Independence Day, students from Madarsa Nizamia took out a flag rally in the border village of Gundi Qazimora as part of the nationwide 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign.
Reflecting on the event, Shaban Raza Chishti, Chairman of the Nazamia Welfare Trust and member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), Jammu and Kashmir, emphasised the duty of the youth towards the nation, saying that young people must educate themselves to eradicate societal evils such as the menace of drugs. "Today, students from Madarsa Nizamia organised a rally in which local residents and many others participated. Today, we remembered the martyrs, those who sacrificed their children and their own lives for the sake of the nation. Just as our armed forces protect our borders, our young people must educate themselves to eradicate the evils spreading in our society, such as the menace of drugs," he said. Earlier on Tuesday, the Doda Police organised a bike rally in town as part of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign to spread the message of patriotism and national unity.
