Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan Hoists National Flag at Historic Flag Point in Sri Vijaya Puram

SRI VIJAYA PURAM, August 09, 2026 — Marking Quit India Movement Day and the nationwide launch of the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyaan, Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan hoisted the Indian National Flag at the historic Flag Point in Sri Vijaya Puram on Sunday.The symbolic ceremony paid tribute to the sacrifices made during the Indian independence movement while connecting past historical milestones with contemporary national celebrations.

The site carries immense historical resonance for the nation. On December 30, 1943, leader Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose unfurled the Tricolour at this very location, declaring the Andaman and Nicobar Islands liberated from British colonial control. By choosing Flag Point as the backdrop for launching the campaign, the event linked modern patriotic observances directly with the legacy of the Azad Hind movement.

Reflecting on the occasion through a statement on X, Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan expressed deep reverence for the freedom fighters whose sacrifices laid the foundation for modern India.He noted that Quit India Movement Day serves as a poignant reminder of the unwavering resolve that swept across the country following Mahatma Gandhi’s iconic “Do or Die” call in 1942.

The ceremony at Sri Vijaya Puram forms a key part of the broader Har Ghar Tiranga initiative, designed to encourage citizens across every corner of India to proudly display the national flag as Independence Day approaches.During his visit, Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan highlighted that the spirit, courage, and patriotism of past freedom fighters continue to guide and inspire future generations.
