Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary flags off Tiranga rally, pays tribute to Dr BR Ambedkar

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Friday flagged off a Tiranga rally and participated in the Tiranga Yatra in Haveli Kharagpur, Munger, as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign ahead of Independence Day.

During the event, Choudhary paid floral tribute to Dr BR Ambedkar at Ambedkar Chowk and participated in the celebrations centred around the national flag.

Earlier in the day, CM Choudhary also hoisted the Tricolour at his official residence as part of the campaign.

Sharing a post on X, Choudhary said, ” In response to the call by the Honorable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, the national flag was hoisted at the public servant’s residence to pay tribute to the immortal martyrs of the freedom struggle.”

Urging people to participate in the campaign, he further said, “Let us all hoist the Tricolor at our homes and become part of this grand campaign of patriotism. Share your photo with the Tricolor on social media with #HarGharTiranga and take this campaign of public participation to every individual. Jai Hind!”

Launched under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign encourages citizens to bring the national flag home and hoist it to mark India’s Independence Day.

As India prepares to celebrate its 80th Independence Day, this year’s campaign has a special focus on commemorating 150 years of ‘Vande Mataram’.

The major activities under Har Ghar Tiranga 2026 include Tiranga rallies and processions, exhibitions, concerts, bike and cycle rallies, tricolour illumination of prominent locations, decorations and Rangoli programmes. Activities will also be organised under the theme “Tiranga Salute to the Spirit of Vande Mataram”, along with the “Selfie with Tiranga” initiative.
