Kerala receives a roaring response to "Har Ghar Tiranga"

The Center's "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign was launched in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, on Saturday morning to an exuberant reception that cut across all barriers of age, caste, and religion.

 The campaign, which was started as a part of "Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav" to honour India's 75th anniversary of Independence, will last through August 15.

The goal of the campaign is to encourage all Indians to fly the flag at their residences and places of business.

 This morning, State Ministers K. Krishnanankutty and K. Balagopal raised the tricolour in their homes to kick off the campaign.

 When he raised the flag at his Kochi mansion, superstar Mohanlal (Hon Lt. Col) stole the stage.

The national anthem was played after he raised the Tri-color, and everyone in the house stood at attention.

In a statement to the media, Mohanlal said,

"I'm truly delighted to have participated in the 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' and the effort will undoubtedly serve to enhance the love for the country."

Similar Tri-color hoisting ceremonies were held in residences, clubs, government buildings, and homes.
