Independence Day dawned on us once again heralding new hopes and sundry wishes. We place our expectations on the government.
August 15th was celebrated by many public institutions across the country. It is a public holiday in India. The roads wore a deserted look but the national flag was seen fluttering atop private vehicles, buses and cars. Shops too could be seen displaying the national flag.
In Mangalore, Nehru Maidan was the scene of national pride. The flag flew at half- mast and citizens paid homage to the leaders of the country. Mahila Sabha, Ladies Club, Lions Club etc. celebrated Independence Day at their leisure.
A number of shops remained closed. Schools, colleges too gave a holiday to their students.
