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.

The ceremony began with Collector Tanneeru hoisting the tricolour, followed by her accepting the guard of honour. The event showcased the district's commitment to national pride and unity.

In a significant gesture of appreciation, Tanneeru distributed 136 certificates to government servants who had demonstrated exceptional dedication to their duties. Many of these officials were recognized for their outstanding work during the recent spell of heavy rains that had adversely affected the district.
