# Three Dhadkai sisters stitch over 150 flags for Independence Day 2026-08-15T02:58:06+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Three sisters from Dhadkai in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district have stitched and distributed more than 150 national flags ahead of Independence Day. Reshma Bibi, 26, Parveen Kousar, 24, and Saira Khatoon, 22, began the effort after insisting that their father buy cloth for the flags. Dhadkai, at 9,150 feet and without road connectivity, is known as India’s ‘Silent Village’ because more than 90 residents have congenital hearing and speech impairments. The village has about 2,000 residents, all from the Gujjar community. Locals said the sisters’ initiative brought the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign to a settlement it had not reached earlier, with flags now flying from many rooftops. ## Coverage - rediff.com Tags: Dhadkai, Doda, Har Ghar Tiranga, Jammu and Kashmir Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/three-dhadkai-sisters-stitch-over-150-flags-for-independence-day/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
