New Delhi: India Marked its 79^th Independence Day with grandeur and pride as PM Narendra Modi hoisted the National Flag at the historic Red Fort and addressed the Nation with a renewed call for unity and development. The celebrations reflected the spirit of a “Naya Bharat”, with operation Sindoor and national achievements taking centre stage.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi took to social media to extend his greetings to citizens. In a post on X, he said, “Wishing everyone a very happy Independence Day. May this day inspire us to keep working even harder to realise the dreams of our freedom fighters and build a Viksit Bharat. Jai Hind!”

In his speech from the Red fort, PM Modi reiterated his government’s commitment to making India a developed nation by 2047. He highlighted the milestones achieved under initiatives like Make in- India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, and emphasized the power of youth and innovation in shaping the country’s future

On the eve of Independence Day, President Droupadi Murmu addressed the nation and paid homage to freedom fighters, while also appreciating India’s democratic values and economic progress. She noted that India had shown remarkable economic resilience, recording a GDP growth rate of 6.5%, and credited strategic programs for infrastructure growth and self-reliance.

A significant portion of her speech focused on the recent anti-terror operation — Operation Sindoor — which she praised as a defining moment in global efforts against terrorism. “I believe Operation Sindoor will go down in history as an example in humanity’s fight against terrorism,” she remarked.

This year’s Independence Day theme —‘Naya Bharat’— was reflected in all aspects of the celebration. The iconic Gyanpath displayed elaborate floral decorations featuring the Operation Sindoor logo. Invitation cards also bore the logo alongside a watermark of the Chenab Bridge; symbolizing India’s engineering marvels and growing global stature.

The Independence Day celebration was attended by dignitaries, diplomats, armed forces personnel, and citizens from all walks of life, all joining in to honour the sacrifices of the past and the promise of the future.

With a renewed call for unity, progress, and resilience, India’s 79th Independence Day was not just a celebration of freedom, but a reflection of the nation’s unwavering journey toward transformation and global leadership.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
