Ahead of the 78th Independence Day, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters in Mumbai were illuminated in the colours of the Indian tricolour as part of the Centre's ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement.
In a display of patriotism, the iconic structures were decorated saffron, white and green, creating a stunning visual tribute to the nation. The BMC, the country’s richest civic body, shared videos of its headquarters adorned with the tricolour on X (formerly known as Twitter).
