SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday took part in ‘Tiranga yatra’ around the Dal lake.
The yatra shows immense participation of around hundreds of residents in the area.
Addressing the Tiranga yatra event, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah emphasised the importance of the national flag and honouring martyrs’ sacrifice for the Tiranga, urging citizens to uphold the flag’s dignity beyond ceremonies.
“Those who sacrificed their lives for the tirangaa, those who did not worry about their future and gave their today for the tirangaa, they thought that they alone were enough to take care of the tirangaa. For the welfare of the country, we have it in us to stand up alone… I hope that our connection with our national flag doesn’t stay limited to these functions. Our flag is our identity and we have to maintain its dignity..,” he said.
LG Manoj Sinha congratulated soldiers and police for avenging the Pahalgam terror attack and protecting the nation’s honor, saying, “I congratulate the brave soldiers of Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev, officers of the armed forces and Jammu and Kashmir Police who have protected the self-respect of the nation by avenging the Pahalgam terror attack…”
