Hours after the Tricolour was unfurled atop the historic Clock tower in Srinagar's Lal Chowk, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah questioned why it did not remain there for even a day. He also alleged that the unfurling was just for a 'photos op'.
Tricolour disappears in less than a couple of hours. It didn’t even remain there for the day. Why insult the National Flag 🇮🇳 just for a photo op? Is this what patriotism & nationalism has come to? Photo ops & trolling? pic.twitter.com/xfcTnePKE1

The partnership between India and the United States is rooted in their shared responsibility to uphold democratic values, the White House said on Tuesday as it greeted the people of India on the occasion of the country's 73rd Republic Day.
"We join India, the world's largest democracy, in honouring Republic Day, the day that marks the adoption of India's Constitution," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at her daily news conference.
"As President (Joe) Biden said when India's Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi visited the White House last September, the relationship between India and the United States is destined to be stronger, closer and tighter, and it can benefit the whole world," she said.
"Our partnership is rooted in our shared responsibility to uphold democratic values," Psaki said in response to a question.
In a tweet, the US State Department's South and Central Asia Bureau said: "Happy 73rd Republic Day India! As millions of Indians celebrate their vibrant Constitution today, we are reminded of our nations' shared democratic values and the strength of the US-India strategic partnership."
Congressman Eric Swalwell congratulated India and Indian Americans on the occasion of India's 73rd Republic Day.
"India and the United States make up the world's oldest and the world's biggest democracies. And our shared partnership, a belief in democracy, the rule of law, humanity, charity and making sure that human rights are carried out not just in our own countries but across the globe is what makes our partnership so special," he said.
Indian Americans across the country have made special preparations for celebrating India's Republic Day. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Indian embassy here is scheduled to celebrate the occasion virtually with Indian Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu unfurling the national flag in the presence of a small group of people.

Under the title “Jal Jeevan Mission: Changing Lives” the Ministry of Jal Shakti’s tableau for the 73rd Republic Day is all set to showcase how at an altitude of more than 13,000 ft in harsh winter, the Mission is bringing ease and improving the quality of life of people of Ladakh by providing clean tap water to their homes. It is important to mention that in winters the maximum temperature during the day remains sub-zero and the night temperature falls to -20 degree Celsius in the region which highlights the importance of the mission.
According to the ministry, during winters villages are scattered and rainfall is scarce
"Villages remain cut off from the rest of country for few months in a year due to closure of passes during winters. This affects the supply of materials badly. Further, most of the water sources are in inaccessible areas, in many areas of Ladakh the water bodies freeze in winters, a lot of labour is required for construction and the help of animals & helicopters is taken to lift and transport the material," added Ministry of Jal Shakti press release.
