The CPRO said that the railway officials and employees will be encouraged to actively participate in the campaign and inspire their families as well as members of the public to proudly hoist the National Flag at their homes during the campaign period.

Flag hoisting ceremonies will be organised at railway offices and establishments, while prominent railway stations and other important railway premises will be illuminated in the colours of the Tiranga as a mark of national pride.

Sharma said that instrumental renditions of the National Song “Vande Mataram” will be played through the Public Address System at major railway stations, and suitable patriotic programmes will be organised to foster the spirit of unity and nationalism.

Officers, employees and members of the public will also be encouraged to upload their “Selfie with Tiranga” as a symbol of their participation in the nationwide campaign.

These initiatives aim to strengthen the spirit of patriotism, national pride and unity while encouraging everyone to celebrate the Tiranga with respect, dignity and pride, the official noted.
