India is celebrating its 75th anniversary of independence today, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hosting the festivities.
From the ramparts of the recognisable Red Fort, Prime Minister Modi has raised the national flag and is addressing the country.
As India enters the “amrit kaal,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlined five resolutions for Indians, saying that we must work towards a “viksit bharat” (developed India).
We must eliminate all traces of colonialism, maintain our heritage, and uphold unity in diversity, he continued.
In order for India to be a developed country in the following 25 years, according to PM Modi, Indians must carry out their responsibilities.
Babasaheb Ambedkar, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Veer Savarkar, and Bapu all sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence, Prime Minister Modi remarked.
According to PM Modi, it was a historic day for India as it embarked on a new course with renewed vigour.
According to PM Modi, India is strong because of its diversity and is the mother of democracy.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised the National Flag prior to his speech at the Red Fort as the locally made ATAGS artillery gun fired a 21-shot salute.
Helicopters dropped flower petals on the crowd after that. PM Modi paid his respects at Rajghat earlier in the day.
In each entry/exit point at the fort, a multi-layered security cover and facial recognition system cameras have been installed. On the morning of August 15, the police recruited as many as 231 regular kite-flyers from the vicinity of the walled city to guarantee a clear sky for approximately three hours.
