The 130-meter Tiranga was carried from the Vivekananda Statue at Tetultola through the A.C. Dasgupta Road, Guru Teg Bahadur Road, H.N. Road, N.S. Road, Rabindra Sarani, and finally ended at Tetultola as part of a massive rally organised by the Dhubri District Rastriya Suraksha Nagarik Samaj.

On the way, Bimal Oswal, the independent director of NGEL, NTPC Green Energy Limited, and Ranjit Ray, the president of the Dhubri District BJP, presented flowers and garlanded the statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, the national hero. At the conclusion of the demonstration, the organisers' leaders, including Uttam Prasad, the convenor of the Dhubri District Rastriya Suraksha Nagarik Samaj, presented flowers and garlanded the statue of Swami Vivekananda.

A cross section of people irrespective of caste, creed, religion, social organisations, common people with spirit of nationalism and patriotism participated in the rally amid saluting sound of bands and drums.

Talking to The Sentinel, a senior state BJP leader, Bimal Oswal told that since after partition of the country in 1947, Dhubri has been a strategic war front as the district and outskirts of Dhubri town has been sharing international border with erstwhile East Pakistan and now Bangladesh. “We the people of this district witnessed wars with Pakistan in close proximity in a 1948,1965, and 1971 and this time too international border with Bangladesh has remained on high alert, so one can well understand how important is the security of the nation for us,” Oswal added with spirit of patriotism while acknowledging the air strike of Bravo Indian Air Force.
