As part of the Delhi government’s function for the 79th Independence Day, 7,900 students participated in the ‘Tiranga Run’ from Thygaraj Stadium at the National War Memorial here on Sunday.
A statement said that the run by Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood was organized by the Directorate of Education under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign and theme ‘Dilli Uthe Garv SE’ (Delhi rises with pride).
Catching the national flag, the participants covered the symbolic route to pay tribute to freedom fighters and armed forces personnel, who set their lives for the country.
“This is not just a race, but a celebration of India’s unity, patriotism and the indomitable spirit of its citizens,” said Sood.
He said that the event allowed Delhi to come together to mark freedom and confirm its resolve to create a strong and rich nation.
The minister recalled the courage of the Indian Army during Operation Sindoor and urged the youth to maintain the values of unity, integrity and national security.
Sood described the run as a tribute to the heroes of the freedom struggle and called upon the citizens to ‘walk with the tricolor’ to keep their memories alive.
