Siliguri, 08th August: Preparations are in progress for 76th Independence Day celebrations across the country. In this regard, Tricolours are made available for purchase in all post offices across the country, including Siliguri, under the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign.
It has to be noted that, last year, the central government started the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to celebrate the “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” and encouraged all citizens to hoist the national flag at their homes. In Siliguri, the campaign received an overwhelming response with over 20 thousand National Flags sold from Head Post Office.
This year, the sale of National flags has commenced ahead of Independence Day. To make the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign a success even this year, the Indian Postal Department has arranged for the delivery of the National Flag. Citizens can order 5 flags per person at Rs 25 each from the e-portal of the Post Office: www.epostoffice.gov.in.
As per reports, around 100 flags have been sold so far at the Siliguri Head Post Office. In this regard, a ‘Selfie Zone’ has been arranged where buyers can take pictures after their flag purchases. Orders once placed cannot be cancelled and the same can also be purchased by visiting the post office in person.
