Mohan Yadav Leads Tiranga Yatra in Bhopal Amid Heavy Rain
On a rainy Sunday, a big group of people in Bhopal walked together while holding the Indian flag.
This walk is called a Tiranga Yatra, which means a flag march, and it happened before Independence Day.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav led the march and even arrived on a motorcycle.
Many children joined, some dressed as cartoon characters like Doraemon and Motu-Patlu.
The walk began and ended at a stadium called TT Nagar Stadium.
Because the rain was heavy, leaders made the route shorter so everyone, especially kids, would be safe.
The Chief Minister spoke about Mahatma Gandhi's Quit India Movement, which started on August 9, 1942, and helped India become free.
He asked every home to show the flag as part of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign until August 14.
People also promised to help young people stay away from drugs.
Everyone chanted patriotic slogans, and the flag's colors stood for courage, bravery, and sacrifice.
