DMRC Unveils Har Ghar Tiranga Train Ahead Of Independence Day
India is getting ready to celebrate its 80th Independence Day on August 15, 2026.
To make the celebration special, the Delhi Metro made a train covered with the colors of India's national flag.
This special train runs on the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro.
It is part of a campaign called 'Har Ghar Tiranga', which means 'a flag in every home'.
The campaign asks people to put the national flag at their homes and workplaces to show pride in their country.
This year is extra special because it is the 150th year of India's national song, 'Vande Mataram'.
The Delhi Metro also decorated its stations with messages about the campaign.
People riding the special train can feel the spirit of freedom and patriotism.
Security in Delhi is also being increased to keep everyone safe during the celebrations.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) launched a special metro train themed on 'Har Ghar Tiranga' on the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro network.
The special train was unveiled as part of programmes for India's 80th Independence Day on August 15, 2026.
The launch marks DMRC's participation in the week-long 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, which encourages citizens to hoist the national flag at homes and workplaces.
This year's campaign also marks the 150th year of India's national song 'Vande Mataram'.
Metro stations across the Delhi Metro network are adorned with Har Ghar Tiranga messages and creatives, while security arrangements in Delhi are being intensified ahead of the occasion.
