Samrat Ashok Vidyalaya in Kalyan organised a tricolour bike rally with 48 teachers and parents under the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign. The rally was flagged off by Kalyan East MLA Sulabha Gaikwad, KDMC Education Officer Vijay Sarkate, and Kolsewadi Police Station Inspector Vijay Khedekar, and concluded with floral tributes at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's statue.
Separately, the CRPF's 77th Battalion in Chennai held a flag rally at Karayanchavadi. Mukesh Kumar, Commandant, and personnel participated along with students and teachers from Sarojini Varadappan Girls Higher Secondary School.
Both rallies are textbook pre-I-Day exercises, but the coverage risks inflating routine flag-waving into a measure of patriotism. The Kalyan event involved 48 participants; the CRPF rally likely drew a similar modest crowd. Real national unity is tested not by bike processions but by everyday acts, paying taxes, obeying traffic rules, or helping a neighbour. The test to watch for: will the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign boost actual flag-hoisting on August 15, or remain a photo-op?
