On the morning of August 15, Prime Minister Modi will raise the national flag from the Red Fort, accompanied by a 21-gun salute. In preparation for the special day, security has been tightened across the nation to ensure safety and monitor activities closely. This heightened security aims to keep the celebrations joyful and secure for everyone.
