This will be the eighth time in a row that the Prime Minister will deliver his speech from the Red Fort. Like last year due to Corona epidemic, entry of people will be restricted in the event this year also and there will be no cultural programs.
It took more than 200 years for India to get independence from the British Raj. On this day i.e. 15 August 1947, the first Prime Minister of the country, Jawaharlal Nehru, hoisted the tricolor at the Red Fort for the first time. Since then, every year on Independence Day, the Prime Minister of India hoists the national tricolor flag at the Red Fort in Delhi.
