Recently the Centre had launched the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to inspire citizens to display the Tricolour at their businesses and homes to mark the country’s 75th Independence Day. To assist in this initiative, the Narendra Modi- led government had amended the ‘Flag Code of India 2002’ as well. To mark the 75th Independence Day, people can now buy or manufacture the Tricolour from synthetic fabric. Earlier, the flag was to be made from Khadi only. Apart from this, people will be permitted to hoist the tricolour throughout the day, instead of between sunrise and sunset. In his Mann Ki Baat address on 31 July, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had suggested that people could place the Tricolour on their social media profiles in the run-up to the Independence Day celebrations. “Under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, from August 13-15, a special movement – Har Ghar Tiranga is being organised. I have a suggestion that from August 2-15, all of us can place the Tricolor in our social media profile pictures,” Modi stated.
