Prayagraj : The Divisional Commissioner's office in Prayagraj observed the 77th Republic Day with a dignified ceremony led by Divisional Commissioner Soumya Agarwal. The event commenced with the traditional hoisting of the national flag, followed by a collective rendition of the national anthem that resonated with patriotic pride.

In a significant symbolic gesture, Commissioner Agarwal administered the oath of the Preamble of the Indian Constitution to the gathered officers and employees.

She urged officials to rise above the narrow divisions of religion, caste, and regionalism. "Every citizen must discharge their duties with full devotion and honesty to propel our state and country to the highest peaks of progress," she stated.
