West Bengal Launches Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign and Annapurna Yojana Payments
West Bengal is actively participating in the national Har Ghar Tiranga campaign for the first time, distributing 70 lakh flags and organizing rallies, including a major event in Kolkata led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. The government plans widespread involvement across districts and municipalities. Adhikari also announced that the third installment of the Annapurna Yojana financial aid will begin on August 17, assuring continued support. The campaign and welfare initiatives mark a shift from the previous administration, which did not engage in the flag program.
