Prime Minister Narendra Modi updated his profile picture on X to the Tricolour, six days before India’s 77th Independence Day. To support the third edition of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, he encouraged everyone to set their profile pictures to the Tiranga and make “HarGharTiranga” a significant nationwide movement.

“With Independence Day coming up, let’s make HarGharTiranga special again. I’m updating my profile picture to the Tricolour and I encourage you all to do the same to celebrate our flag,” PM Modi wrote in a post on X.

Union Minister of Culture and Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat announced on Thursday that the third edition of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign will run from August 9 to 15 for the 78th Independence Day. He encouraged people to raise the tricolour at their homes, take a selfie with it, and upload it on the HGT portal.

A key event of the campaign is a special ‘Tiranga Bike Rally’ with Members of Parliament, scheduled for August 13 in Delhi. The rally will begin at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, and end at Major Dhyan Chand Stadium, passing by India Gate.
