Bengaluru: As part of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign marking Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, to celebrate 75 years of Indian Independence, the Karnataka Postal Department has planned to sell 12 lakh National Flags.

Chief Postmaster General S. Rajendra Kumar, speaking to presspersons recently, said that a selfie-point will be set up in every Head Post Office across the State. “Customers can click selfies and share it on social media. The Head Post Offices will also post videos of campaign apart from releasing the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ anthem,” he said.

“The Centre has mandated the sale of 2 crore flags across the country. In the State there is an aim to sell around 12 lakh flags from all Post Offices from Aug. 1,” Rajendra added.

Encouraging citizens to hoist the Tri-colour for three days marking  Independence Day celebrations, Rajendra said that the idea is to build a feeling of patriotism among people and also to recall the contributions of those who worked tirelessly towards building an independent nation.
