Where does the Indian Prime Minister hoist the national flag on the occasion of Independence Day?
Red Fort
On Independence Day (15 August), the Prime Minister of India hoists the national flag at the Red Fort (Lal Qila) in Delhi and addresses the nation from its ramparts.
This tradition dates back to 15 August 1947, when the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled the flag at the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort.
It is important to distinguish this from Republic Day (26 January), when the President unfurls the flag at Rajpath / Kartavya Path near India Gate.
The Qutb Minar and Jantar Mantar are historical monuments not associated with the official flag-hoisting ceremony.
Hence, the Prime Minister hoists the national flag at the Red Fort on Independence Day.
