Tiranga March: A Sea of Colors at 14,000 Feet

A sea of saffron, white, and green unfolded in Tawang's Chuna as the Army, ITBP, and locals marked Independence Day with a 'Tiranga March' at 14,000 feet. The patriotic march was an emblem of unity and nationalism, led by Assistant Commissioner Thutan Wangchu of Thingbu administrative circle.

The event saw soldiers, paramilitary personnel, and residents of Mago and Chuna carry a 100-metre-long national flag through lush Himalayan fields against rugged peaks. The demonstration, praised by Chief Minister Pema Khandu, showcased the 'true spirit of India' in the border region, reinforcing integrity and unity.

Following the march, participants engaged in a 'No Plastic Zone' cleanliness drive to protect the region's fragile ecosystem. This effort aligned with the district administration's campaign to conserve high-altitude biodiversity, underlining the connection between patriotism and ecological responsibility.
