Tiranga Yatras across India for Operation Sindoor

 

The event is part of a nationwide Tiranga Yatra campaign being organised by the BJP-led NDA government from May 13 to 23. The campaign marks the success of Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people.

 

According to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the operation targeted terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing nearly 100 terrorists.

 

Senior BJP leaders including Sambit Patra, Vinod Tawde, and Tarun Chugh are leading the campaign. Union ministers, chief ministers, and other top BJP leaders are expected to participate in similar yatras across the country.

 

The initiative aims to raise public awareness about the security operation and its role in defending India’s sovereignty.
