The Tricolour was unfurled at Subarna Dip in Balasore, Naya Tapu Dip, Udabali, Kanika, Long Wheeler, Short Island and Small Wheeler in Bhadrak district, and Boitarkud, Jatadhari Tanda and Barkud islands in Jagatsinghpur district.
“Hoisting the Tricolour across the uninhabited islands of India during this Republic Day, is a historic initiative by Hon’ble Prime Minister, and Odisha Police is proud to have represented Odisha by hoisting it across 10 such Islands of the State! Bande Utkala Janani Jai Hind!!” the Odisha police posted on X.
