The country is beautifully decorated for the Independence Day 2024 celebrations. Major cities are lit up in the colors of the national flag, creating a festive atmosphere. Monuments in cities such as Delhi, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, and Srinagar are shining with tricolor lights, making them look magical. The historic Qutub Minar in Delhi is especially dazzling as part of the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations. The streets, trees, and parks around these landmarks are also glowing, offering spectacular views. On the morning of August 15, Prime Minister Modi will raise the national flag from the Red Fort, accompanied by a 21-gun salute. In preparation for the special day, security has been tightened across the nation to ensure safety and monitor activities closely. This heightened security aims to keep the celebrations joyful and secure for everyone.
