Delhi Metro's patriotic initiative

With the Tricolour prominently featured across the train, the initiative aims to bring the Independence Day celebrations into the daily lives of commuters travelling across Delhi and the National Capital Region.

Har Ghar Tiranga initiative unveiled

The DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) on Sunday joined the week-long 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign by unveiling a special train on the Yellow Line wrapped in the Tricolour theme, said by an official of the Union Ministry of Culture.

The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign encourages citizens to display the national flag at their homes and workplaces as a symbol of national pride and unity. The Delhi Metro's special train carries the same message, turning an everyday mode of public transport into a moving tribute to India's Independence Day.
