New Delhi: With Covid-19 protocols in place, Red Fort on Monday adorned a celebratory look as Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered the 76th Independence Day speech.
On his arrival through the Lahori Gate entrance, where he was received by defence minister Rajnath Singh and other officials, Modi inspected the Guard of Honour before proceeding to the ramparts.
Kits in the form of jute bags that had “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” etched on them were provided to all spectators. Apart from masks, sanitisers and water bottles, there were caps with the Tricolour and miniature versions of the national flag printed with “75 years” and “Independence Day Celebrations 2022” in the kits to make this year’s August 15 even more memorable.
From murals, paintings and posters depicting various stages of the Independence struggle and freedom fighters to Indian Air Force choppers showering petals on an audience that cheered on, those gathered were absorbed in the momentous occasion of India completing 75 years of Independence.
Donning a traditional light blue kurta, a half-jacket and a headgear and safa trail that had tricolour stripes on it, Modi arrived at Red Fort around 7.20 am and began delivering his speech shortly after unfurling the national flag.
