New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced the 'Har Haath Tiranga' initiative on Saturday. Under this initiative, the Delhi Government will ensure that every Delhiite has a Tiranga in their hands. This development came to the fore as CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal felicitated the Tiranga Samman Samitis of Delhi at an event organised at the Thyagraj Stadium. The Delhi Government has formed these volunteers-based committees to look after all the Tirangas that are being installed in the state. 

The CM also called on the citizens to work for the greater good while saying that when all 130 crores Indians think about the development of the nation, poverty will be eradicated and India will progress like never before. He stated, "Delhi Government is installing 500 Tirangas in the state to ensure there's always a tricolour in your sight when you step out of the house. There's nothing more glorious than the Tiranga that instills unmatched Deshbhakti in one's soul,, " said Kejriwal. 

"The committees formed to look after the Tirangas will ensure that it complies with the flag code and protocols; if it gets dirty or torn, they will get it fixed immediately. Tiranga is not just a cloth and a pole, but a manifestation of the Bharat Mata. I suggest that all Samman Samitis should meet every Sunday at 10 AM and salute the Tiranga while singing the national anthem. All the committees should enroll one thousand young volunteers for Bharat Mata; I will have dinner with every committee that enrolls one thousand volunteers, " he said. 

All these volunteers will not belong  to AAP, BJP or Congress; they will be volunteers of Bharat Mata. Every committee should ensure that no one sleeps hungry in their area and everyone gets good education and healthcare. Committees should work towards helping the homeless reach night shelters and make Safai Karamcharis feel honoured. I want to see the children begging at traffic lights become engineers and doctors, he said. 

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, "375 'Tiranga Samman Samitis' have been formed for the upkeep of the tricolors, in the coming time their number will be increased to 500. These Committees will report all issues to PWD immediately, so that there's no harm to the glory of the mighty Tiranga."

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal interacted with the Tiranga Samman Samitis at an event held at the Thyagraj Stadium today. He also presented certificates to them on the occasion recognising their work and credence. The ceremony was held in presence of Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia, senior officials of the government and thousands of volunteers who've stepped up for the cause. On the occasion, the committee members were also informed of the Flag Code of India and the protocols they are bound to follow. /BI/
