In a recent broadcast of his monthly radio address "Mann Ki Baat," Prime Minister Modi stated that a Har Ghar Tiranga (a tricolour, every home) is being organised to make the 75th year of Independence an unique occasion. He also urged people to use the national flag as their profile image on social media platforms from August 2 to August 15 while asking residents to fly the tricolour at their residences from August 13 to August 15.
