PM Modi assures flood, landslide-hit families of government support
India celebrates Independence Day every year to remember when the country became free.
This year was the 80th time, and it happened on a Saturday.
The leader of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave a special speech at a famous fort called the Red Fort.
Before his speech, he hoisted the national flag, which is an important tradition.
In his speech, he talked about families who have been hurt by floods and landslides.
Floods happen when too much water covers the land, and landslides happen when soil and rocks slide down hills.
Lately, heavy rains have caused these problems in places like Assam, Kerala, Uttarakhand and Nagaland.
Mr. Modi said that the government understands their pain and suffering.
He promised that the entire country stands with these families and will support them.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 80th Independence Day.
