The Story in Brief
Inmates at District Jail Bhaderwah have joined the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, making tricolours for students, security personnel and others. Male and female inmates stitched and painted hundreds of national flags, which were distributed during a ‘Tiranga Rally’ led by Superintendent Hamid-ullah Naik, with CRPF and J&K Police participation.
Greater Kashmir reports that inmates expressed pride in contributing despite confinement. Inmate Irshad Ahmed said they were happy their flags would be waved outside. School principal Sajad Sarmadi called it the most emotional moment of the campaign. The fifth edition of the campaign, launched by the Ministry of Culture on August 9, aims to boost public participation.

Critics may call it a publicity exercise, but the inmates’ evident pride and the school’s emotional reception suggest something real. The real test is whether such engagement continues after the campaign, will the jail sustain opportunities for inmates to contribute to civic life?
