The preparations for Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the celebration of 75 years of Indian independence, have commenced in Visakhapatnam District. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has earlier appealed to all the citizens to hoist the tri-colour Indian flag on their homes to mark the celebrations. He asked the public to hoist the flag on their rooftops/terraces from 13 to 15 August 2022.
The forest department announced that over 2 lakh bamboo poles are being prepared in the Ananthagiri Range.

Over 5,00,000 bamboo poles will be prepared in the Anakapalli District.
