Second phase of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga' begins in Greater Noida
District magistrate Medha Roopam has instructed all departments to complete preparations in a time-bound and coordinated manner, emphasising the importance of achieving departmental targets and ensuring flag availability across all sectors.
'The campaign must be implemented as a people's movement. Every citizen should be made aware and involved through collective departmental efforts,' the DM said.
Under the first phase, which concluded on August 8, schools were decorated with art inspired by the Indian Tricolour, while exhibitions provided by the Ministry of Culture were showcased at educational institutions, government buildings, and public spaces.
The second phase, (August 9–12) will culminate in a grand 'Tiranga Mahotsav' featuring a Tricolour fair and a musical concert. The fair will highlight locally made products by self-help groups under the rural development department and enterprises supported by the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) department. Products with Tricolour themes, ranging from food items to clothing and cosmetic goods, will be the focus of the festival, modelled after the popular Saras Fairs. In addition, a dedicated Tricolour exhibition will be held at the fair venue, officials informed.
A massive Tricolour rally involving personnel from the home department, police, paramilitary forces, National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Service Scheme (NSS), civil defence, home guards, and the sports department will be organised, either as a bike or cycle rally, along with large-scale public Tricolour processions carrying a long flag.
In the concluding phase (August 13–15) leading up to Independence Day, flag hoisting ceremonies and Tricolour illumination will be held at all government offices, educational institutions, hotels, dams, and bridges. District panchayati raj officer Virendra Singh said, 'We have been instructed to distribute flags and execute outreach plans department-wise. Our goal is to reach every citizen, workplace, and institution before Independence Day by mobilizing participation and ensuring complete availability of Tricolours.'

Owaisi slams Hyderabad Corporation for ‘meat ban' on Independence Day
Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday (August 13, 2025) sought to know the rationale behind directing slaughter houses and meat shops to remain closed on August 15, even as he described the missive as 'unconstitutional'. Mr. Owaisi, who is the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president, stated that a vast majority of the public in Telangana is non-vegetarian. Using this to buttress his point, he sought to know the 'connection' between meat-eating and Independence Day. 'These meat bans violate people's right to liberty, privacy, livelihood, culture, nutrition & religion,' he stated on X, formerly Twitter. 'Many municipal corporations across India seemed to have ordered that slaughterhouses and meat shops should be closed on 15th August. Unfortunately, @GHMCOnline has also made a similar order. This is callous and unconstitutional,' he posted. The GHMC had issued orders for the closure of cattle slaughterhouses and retail beef shops on August 15 and August 16 on account of Independence Day and Janmastami, respectively. The Municipal Corporation said it issued the order under Section 533 (b) of the GHMC Act, 1955.

Cong highlights 'vote chori' with video, Kharge asks people to raise voice
The Congress on Wednesday stepped up its campaign against alleged 'vote chori' by releasing a new video depicting how fake votes were being cast and party chief Mallikarjun Kharge asking people to raise their voice and save constitutional institutions from the "clutches of the BJP". Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi also shared the minute-long video and said, "Aapke vote ki chori aapke adhikar ki chori, aapki pehchaan ki chori hai." Tagging the advertisement titled 'booth par vote chori", Congress president Kharge said, "Do not let your rights to vote be snatched away. Ask questions, demand answers this time! Raise your voice against vote chori." "Free constitutional institutions from the clutches of the BJP," he said in his message to the people on X. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also shared the video on X, and said, "the theft of your vote is theft of your rights, theft of your identity." आपके वोट की चोरी… आपके अधिकार की चोरी, आपके पहचान की चोरी है! #VoteChori — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) August 13, 2025 "Save your right to vote, Raise your voice against vote theft," she said. The video made by the Congress depicts a family entering a polling booth with two people telling them that their votes have already been cast by them and it ends with the two persons casting fake votes showing a thumbs up to an officer sitting at the table with 'election chori aayog' display plate on his table. The Congress on Tuesday had claimed that "vote chori" was a "do-or-die" issue for it, and announced a roadmap to take its allegations to the people through various activities, including taking out 'Loktantra bachao mashaal marches' on August 14 evening. The opposition party also claimed that as more "evidence" of "vote chori" was coming to the fore, it seemed that it was not mere theft but "dacoity". The assertion was made after Kharge held a meeting with party general secretaries, in-charges and heads of its frontal organisations. The meeting was attended by the likes of former party chief Rahul Gandhi and general secretaries Priyanka Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh, K C Venugopal, Sachin Pilot, Bhanwar Jitendra Singh, Ghulam Ahmad Mir, as well as treasurer Ajay Maken. Briefing reporters after the meeting, Congress leader and AICC in-charge of National Students' Union of India (NSUI) Kanhaiya Kumar had said a "big issue" of "vote chori" has come to the fore. "Rahul Gandhi ji has put forward the truth with evidence on how democracy is being throttled," he had said. Kumar had said that going forward, the Congress will take this to the people with three important programmes. On August 14, the eve of Independence Day, there will be a 'Loktantra bachao mashaal march' at all district headquarters, Kumar said, adding that between August 22 and September 7, the Congress will hold "vote chor, gaddi chhorh (vote thieves, relinquish power)" rallies in all state headquarters. "Between September 15 and October 15, a signature campaign will be run to save the right to vote and ensure people's participation," he had said, while asserting that the whole INDIA bloc is together on this. The Congress has also launched a web portal for people to register and demand accountability from the poll panel against what it called "vote chori", and express support for the demand for digital voter rolls. Gandhi had urged people to support this demand by registering on Anyone can click on the portal link and download "vote chori proof, demand EC accountability and report vote chori". It also carries Gandhi's video in which he reiterated his explosive claims of a "huge criminal fraud" in the polls through "collusion" between the BJP and the EC. He had cited an analysis in a constituency in Karnataka to support his claim, and said it was "a crime against the Constitution". On Monday, opposition MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, Kharge and Pawar, took out a protest march from the Parliament House to the Election Commission office against the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and alleged "vote chori", but were stopped midway by the police and briefly detained amid high drama.
