Thane: As part of the nationwide ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ (Tricolor in Every Home) campaign, students across civic schools in Thane participated in a postcard-writing initiative to express gratitude to the Indian Armed Forces and the local police force.  

Organized by the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) Education Department under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner Dr. Mitali Sancheti and Education Officer Sheshrao Bade, the event saw young students craft handwritten postcards acknowledging the sacrifices made by security personnel guarding the nation's borders and maintaining civil order.
