Independence Day 2018 Live Updates: Continuing the tradition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the nation from the ramparts of Red Fort in New Delhi. This is his fifth and final address in the current tenure on the occasion of Independence Day. Earlier, he hoisted the Tricolour and inspected the Guard of Honour at Red Fort. PM Modi’s Independence Day speech is likely to focus on highlighting the achievements of the NDA government as well as announcing his flagship health policy–National Health Protection Scheme or Aayushman Bharat.

In line with the practice he has followed for the past four years, Modi had sought ideas from the people for his Independence Day 2018 speech. According to MyGov.in, some of the suggestions on the website revolve around the issues of rape, open defecation, reservation system and education.

For the 72nd Independence Day celebrations, the Indian Navy is the coordinating service. The Guard of Honour will be commanded by Commander P R Jagan Mohan of the Indian Navy.
