The Mumbai police have been roped in for publicity of the Central government’s Har Ghar Tiranga campaign. Apart from hoisting the tricolour outside their offices and residences, they have been asked to help advertise the campaign by distributing pamphlets, flags and even conduct street plays, as per an internal circular of the department to mark 75th Year of Independence Day of India or Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. Police officers said that the state government, too, has issued a notification in this regard.

Mumbai police spokesperson DCP Balsing Rajput said, “The Central and state governments have given instructions in this regard and issued a government resolution. We are acting accordingly.”
