Governor or Lieutenant Governor in Kashmir—Manoj Sinha while walking all the way from Dal Lake to Srinagar’s Raj Bhavan and leading a thick troupe of his civil and Police officers—for the first time told the media on Sunday that raising of the Pakistani flags had become a part of the valley’s history.
The Lieutenant Governor declared, "From now on, only the Indian national flag will flutter here. Sinha made this significant statement on August 14, Pakistan's Independence Day. Up until recently, green flags could be seen on lampposts and trees around the valley. The "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi saw a spectacular siege across the valley on August 13, 14, and 15. Sinha had reasons to his optimism.
