Coimbatore: The Nilgiris district witnessed a patriotic fervor as Independence Day celebrations unfolded in Udhagamandalam on Thursday. District Collector Lakshmi Bhavya Tanneeru led the proceedings by hoisting the national flag, marking the 77th year of India's independence.

In a significant gesture of appreciation, Tanneeru distributed 136 certificates to government servants who had demonstrated exceptional dedication to their duties.
