Republic Day is a special occasion for every Indian as it marks the adoption of our Constitution. On January 26, 1950, our Constitution came into effect, and India officially became a Republic. This day signifies India’s transition from a British Dominion to a fully independent and sovereign republic, with its own system of governance. This year, we will celebrate the 76th Republic Day. One of the most significant traditions of Republic Day celebrations is the hoisting of the national flag. The Indian flag is more than just a piece of cloth. It represents our unity, freedom, and the strength of our nation. To show it the respect it deserves, we need to follow certain guidelines and when displaying it. These rules are outlined in the Flag Code of India, which was introduced in 2002 and updated in 2021 and 2022. So, if you are hoisting the flag this Republic Day, please keep in mind the following rules to ensure it is displayed with the utmost respect.

Authorities are working to ensure the safety of everyone at the school and resolve the situation.. The recent bomb threat at the Global Ryan School comes just days after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in Mumbai also received a bomb threat email. The email, written in Russian, was sent to RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra's official address and threatened to blow up the bank. Bomb threats have become a growing issue for schools across India, though most turn out to be hoaxes. Earlier this week, two schools near Erode, Tamil Nadu, received similar bomb threat emails, leading to the evacuation of students while authorities conducted a thorough search. After several hours, the threat was confirmed to be false. In Delhi, the police have recently investigated a wave of hoax bomb threats targeting over 400 schools.
