In addition to the vibrant celebrations at Bakshi Stadium, tourists flocked to the iconic Clock Tower, known locally as “Ghanta Ghar,” where they unfurled the tricolor in a display of solidarity. The scene was heartwarming, with visitors capturing selfies and videos to immortalize their experience. Just five years ago, public displays of patriotism at this landmark were restricted, making this year’s celebrations all the more poignant.

After taking the salute at the parade, Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary addressed the crowd at Bakshi Stadium, reaffirming the government’s commitment to fulfilling promises made by the Omar-led Government. He emphasized the urgent need for the restoration of statehood and protection of land and job rights for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, as pledged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders.
