BJP Telangana gears up for grand Tiranga Yatra celebrations
Hyderabad: The BJP Telangana unit has announced elaborate arrangements for the upcoming Independence Day celebrations, with an emphasis on the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign and Tiranga Yatras across the state. State BJP president N. Ramchander Rao, addressing the media on Monday, said that the Government of India has been promoting the Har Ghar Tiranga program nationwide for the past five years. This year marks the sixth consecutive year of the initiative. The program encourages citizens to hoist the national flag at their homes and participate in activities that foster a spirit of patriotism. 'In Telangana, we are organizing these events on a massive scale with the participation of state government bodies, voluntary organizations, educational institutions, and other groups,' Rao said, adding that preparations are already underway in every district and mandal. A state-level committee was formed under the leadership of the BJP Telangana State Vice President, Dr. Manohar Reddy, to oversee the Independence Day events. The committee includes MLAs Palvai Harish Babu, party spokesperson Rani Rudrama, BJYM state president Mahender Chevella, and MLC Malka Komuraiah. They will coordinate a series of programs in the run-up to August 15. One of the major highlights will be the Tiranga Rally scheduled for August 14 on Necklace Road in Hyderabad. The rally, expected to draw over 15,000 college students, will be part of a larger series of events across all mandals. The BJP has set an ambitious target of hoisting the tricolour on 14 lakh households across Telangana, with the flags to be lowered respectfully on the evening of August 15. In addition to the rallies, the party will mark Partition Remembrance Day on August 14 with demonstrations, hall meetings, and commemorative programs in all districts. Rao emphasised that these initiatives aim to educate younger generations about the history of India's freedom struggle, the sacrifices made by countless individuals, and the tragic events surrounding the country's partition. 'I appeal to every citizen to take part in these programs, rising above politics, caste, creed, and region, and join hands in celebrating the spirit of our independence,' Rao urged. With an array of cultural, educational, and patriotic events planned, Telangana is set to witness grand celebrations, reinforcing the ideals of unity, freedom, and national pride in the days leading up to Independence Day, he said.

Sindhis demand devpt board for needy members
Lucknow: The Sindhi community, widely recognised as peace-loving and industrious, still includes a section that struggles with poverty, lack of education and limited access to employment. For their uplift, the formation of a development board is essential to bridge these gaps and enable even the most marginalised in the community, said Ashok Anshwani, president, Sindhi Sabha. Anshwani praised efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for working for the uplift of the marginalised communities in India. He said that a large-scale event marking Partition Remembrance Day will be held on Aug 14 in Kanpur with participation expected from Sindhi representatives across the country. He said, "The occasion is not just to commemorate the trauma of Partition, but also to highlight the ongoing challenges faced by refugees and their descendants." He also pointed out that the Sindhi community continues to make valuable contributions to national development.
