Patriotic fervor has gripped the nation as the country celebrates 75 years of freedom. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Assam to Arunachal, the Tiranga has united over 1.4 billion Indians as people take part in the historic celebrations.
Meanwhile, the Northeast is also set for the historic Independence day celebrations, and joining the rest of the nation, Assam too is celebrating India’s 76th Independence Day with much gaiety. The Assam Government has organised a special I-Day program at Khanapara, where Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma unfurled the tricolor.
A watershed moment in the country's history celebrating #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav and heralding #AmritKaal.
