UP witnesses 559 sq km increase in forest and tree cover: ISFR 2023
This achievement places Uttar Pradesh second only to Chhattisgarh, surpassing all other states in forest cover growth.
Uttar Pradesh chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign by hoisting the National Flag on the Gorakhnath Temple premises on Sunday.
The Chief Minister took a selfie with the national flag and also urged the residents of the state to participate in Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. CM Yogi is on a three-day tour to Gorakhpur,
CM Yogi further appealed to the people of the state to join this campaign before the 77th Independence Day. It is worth mentioning that the Yogi government set a significant example by hoisting 4.5 crore flags across the state last year as well.
Similarly, the government plans to fly the national flag on residential and non-residential buildings, government and non-government offices, institutions, and more this year also.
Furthermore, the Chief Minister changed the profile picture of all his social media accounts and uploaded the picture of the tricolor on the online platforms.
On this second Independence Day of the Amrit Kal (the era of freedom), various events will take place for a week. Along with the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign on August 13, silent processions will be held on Partition Day, i.e., August 14 in all the districts of the state, remembering the horrors of the partition of India and paying homage to the victims of the violence during that period.
Additionally, under the ‘Meri Mati, Mera Desh’ program, earthen lamps will be lit paying homage to the brave sacrifices of our soldiers. Furthermore, relatives of freedom fighters, military forces, central police force and police department sacrifices will be honored in the districts and Kavi Sammelan (poetry sessions) and Mushairas (poetic gatherings) will be organised.
Notably, the Yogi Government has prepared a date-wise programme of Har Ghar Tiranga and ‘Meri Mati, Mera Desh’ events in schools.
Following the Chief Minister’s instructions, the basic and secondary schools of the state were also opened on Sunday (August 13) for the implementation of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ and ‘Meri Mati, Mera Desh’ programmes. Additionally, special arrangements were made for mid-day meals for the students.
