  • DC leads Tiranga Exhibition, Human Chain and Mass Singing of Vande Mataram marking 100 days of Commemoration of Vande Mataram

KULGAM:  In a powerful display of patriotism, unity and progress, District Administration Kulgam today organized a mega “ Tiranga Exhibition” on the newly constructed Brazloo-Pahloo Bridge, one of the most vital traffic arteries of the district. 

The event was led by the Deputy Commissioner, Kulgam, Shahzad Alam in presence of ADC, Kulgam Vikar Ahmad Giri and district officers alongwith  participation of officials, students, teachers and citizens from across the district.

Hundreds of metres of the tricolour was displayed and exhibited on the vital Development masterpiece, along the length of the Brazloo Pahloo bridge, transforming it into a vibrant saffron, white and green ribbon symbolizing the spirit of a ‘Viksit Bharat’.

Tiranga Rally commenced from the approach road and culminated on the bridge, where participants formed an elongated human chain stretching across the structure, holding the National Flag with pride. The sight coupled the message of national integration with the district’s scaling development track—a bridge not just of concrete and steel, but of brotherhood and shared aspirations.

As part of the ongoing nationwide commemoration of “100 Days of Vande Mataram”, the district recorded one of its largest mass singing program till date. Thousands of voices came together in unison to pay tribute to the National Song,Vande Mataram, creating an atmosphere charged with devotion and pride. The rendition was followed by National Anthem and patriotic songs.

Speaking on the occasion, the Deputy Commissioner, said that such events reflect how development and national integration go hand in hand. “The Brazloo-Pahloo Bridge is a symbol of connectivity and growth for Kulgam. Today, by lining it with the Tiranga and with our people, we have also made it a symbol of unity. When development reaches every village and every heart beats for the nation, that is true progress,” he said.

He further appreciated the students, officials and citizens for their overwhelming participation and urged everyone to continue upholding the spirit of Har Ghar Tiranga.
