Rajnandgaon (Chhattisgarh) [India], Aug 16 (ANI): In a show of immense courage, the villagers of Chhattisgarh's Budh Bardha village unfurled the national flag on the Independence Day despite receiving threats from the Naxals against it.
The flag was, however, hoisted in the presence of the security personnel.
