In a momentous address to the nation on the eve of the 77th Independence Day, President Droupadi Murmu delved into a spectrum of crucial subjects, ranging from India’s influential G20 presidency to the formidable trials encountered on the economic and climate fronts. With eloquence, she illuminated the path forward, underscoring India’s role in shaping global dialogues.
President Murmu lauded the collaborative efforts of the Centre and RBI, commending their resolute stance in taming inflation and propelling the nation’s GDP growth. The strides taken echo a dedication to the nation’s economic well-being and resilience.
A resounding accolade resonated from President Murmu as she applauded the collective endeavor behind ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 mission. The mission, she avowed, heralds the dawning of a promising era filled with monumental achievements yet to unfold.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi solemnly paid homage to the indomitable spirits who endured the harrowing ordeals of the partition, commemorating the Partition Horrors Remembrance Day. He evoked the memories of those who bore the burden of displacement, acknowledging their unyielding resolve and sacrifices. The Prime Minister’s decree in August 2021 to declare August 14 as the “Partition Horrors Remembrance Day” stands as a testament to the reverence for the millions who faced adversities and lost their lives during Partition.
In anticipation of the forthcoming Independence Day celebrations, the Delhi Police have fortified security measures across the national capital. An assemblage of 700 vigilant police personnel will stand sentinel outside the venerable Red Fort and other precincts in North Delhi on August 15. Overseeing the city’s law and order, an assembly of more than 10,000 personnel will gracefully orchestrate the meticulous regulation of traffic. The grandeur of the Independence Day parade, expected to draw over 30,000 attendees, will be safeguarded through an intricate web of safeguards, reminiscent of the pre-pandemic era.
A technological tapestry has been woven to fortify the security apparatus, featuring an array of more than 1,000 surveillance cameras, an impregnable four-tier security cloak, state-of-the-art anti-drone systems, and the discerning gaze of facial recognition technology. Complementing this formidable arrangement are proficient bomb disposal squads and the steadfast presence of para-military forces.
As the nation stands poised to celebrate its 77th Independence Day, these developments underscore the multifaceted tapestry that interlaces India’s past, present, and the limitless promise of its future.
