New Delhi: Preparations for the upcoming Republic Day celebrations are in full swing at Batla House, situated in south Delhi.

While the residents are well prepared to make the auspicious event successful, the main attraction of the function would be National flag hoisting ceremony at different spots in the area.

“Madrasa students and elderly persons will participate in the Republic Day celebration this year. We will unfurl the National Flag in the area and also sing national anthem near Khalilullah mosque. We have taken this initiative because people have misconception Madrasa students are known for anti-national sloganeering. But this is not the reality. They are patriotic,” said Danish Reyaz, Managing Director of Maeeshat Private Limited.

Batla House made headlines following an encounter in 2008. However, the residents of Batla House denied any such encounter.

“Nowadays, schools are mushrooming in the lanes and bylanes of Jamia Nagar. Parents are sending their children in schools. Youths in the area should devote their in studies and get success their life . At the same time they should know how to become a responsible citizen,” Reyaz added.
