Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 12: In a powerful celebration of patriotism, unity and national pride, thousands of Mumbaikars, including a large number of Gen Z and young citizens, came together at the Worli Promenade on Mumbai’s Coastal Road for the grand Tiranga Fest, turning the iconic seafront into a vibrant sea of Tricolour ahead of Independence Day.
The Tiranga Fest witnessed enthusiastic participation from people across Mumbai, who came together to celebrate the spirit of India and reaffirm their pride in the nation. The highlight of the celebration was the presence of Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Devendra Fadnavis, who joined the celebrations with the Tricolour in his hands, adding a powerful message of unity and national pride to the occasion.
As India enters the 80th year of Independence, the Tiranga Fest celebrated the remarkable journey of the nation and the aspirations that lie ahead. With India emerging as the world’s fourth-largest economy and moving towards the ambitious goals of becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2029 and a Viksit Bharat by 2047, the celebration reflected the confidence, energy and collective spirit of a nation on the move.
Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Devendra Fadnavis said:
“Today, I see two oceans—the Indian Ocean before me and an ocean of the Tricolour around us. This flag is a symbol of the sacrifices of our freedom fighters and soldiers. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, India is today the world’s fourth-largest economy and emerging as a global leader in technology, innovation and space. With the world’s largest youth population, no force can stop India’s march towards becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047. We must rise above caste, creed and differences and walk together with one vision—Tricolour in our hearts and pride in our nation. The true revolution today is not just ‘Quit India’, but ‘Build a Developed India”
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Ameet Satam said:
