77th Independence Day Of India: Here’s Everything You Need To Know About The Indian Flag Code

In anticipation of Independence Day 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called upon the populace to share pictures featuring the Indian tricolor flag on harghartiranga.com as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ initiative, spanning from the 13th to the 15th of August.
“The Tiranga symbolises the spirit of freedom and national unity. Every Indian has an emotional connect with the Tricolour and it inspires us to work harder to further national progress,” PM Modi tweeted.
Tuesday, August 15, 2023, will mark the observance of the 77th Independence Day.
During this occasion, individuals will raise the National flag at their residences, businesses, neighborhoods, and workplaces.
As we commemorate this significant national event, it is equally crucial to acquaint ourselves with the ‘Flag Code of India 2002’.
Flag Code of India
The raising, utilisation, and exhibition of the Indian National Flag are regulated by the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, and the Flag Code of India, 2002. The Flag Code of India came into force on January 26, 2002. As detailed by the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the following are notable aspects of the Flag Code of India, 2002.
Key Points of the Flag Code of India, 2002
The Flag Code of India, 2002 underwent an amendment through an Order issued on December 30, 2021, permitting the use of National Flags crafted from polyester or produced by machines. Presently, the National Flag can be fashioned from hand-spun, hand-woven, or machine-made materials like cotton, polyester, wool, or silk khadi bunting. Members of the public, private organizations, and educational institutions are permitted to hoist and display the National Flag on all occasions, be they ceremonial or otherwise, as long as it upholds the respect and honor befitting the National Flag.
Further amendments were introduced to the Flag Code of India, 2002 by an Order dated July 19, 2022. The clause (xi) of paragraph 2.2 of Part-II of the Flag Code was substituted with the subsequent clause: (xi) “where the Flag is displayed openly or exhibited on a public residence, it may be flown continuously, day and night.”
The National Flag’s shape is required to be rectangular. While its dimensions can vary, the proportion of the length to the height (width) must always be 3:2. When displayed, the National Flag is to be given a place of prominence and distinction. A damaged or untidy flag should not be exhibited. It is also not appropriate to fly the National Flag on the same mast alongside any other flag or flags.
The National Flag should not be attached to vehicles, with the exception of dignitaries mentioned in Section IX of Part III of the Flag Code, which includes individuals like the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, and Governors. No other flag or bunting should be positioned higher, above, or side by side with the National Flag.

Nagpur violence will be remembered as father of Pakistan: Nitesh Rane

Mumbai: Maharashtra Minister and BJP leader Nitesh Rane said that the opposition has not made any demand for my resignation in the House. Protesting outside on the stairs is a different thing. No one even took my name in the House.
He said that before the Nagpur violence, a shocking thing has come to light that the area where vehicles of a particular community used to be parked here, that area was not there that day. Now this matter will be investigated and those who attacked the police will be reminded of the father of Pakistan.
He said that where did they get the courage to attack the police? Our Deva Bhau government will take strict action in this matter and the way the Chief Minister has told the House, it is clear that this violence was organized.

Nagpur violence is the result of an organized conspiracy, the culprits will not be spared: Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai: Terming the Nagpur violence as a well-planned conspiracy in the Maharashtra Assembly, the state’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the situation was peaceful in the morning, but by evening, well-planned police violence broke out and the situation worsened. To control it, the police had to resort to lathicharge and tear gas shells. Now the situation is peaceful. He said that those who take the law into their own hands will not be tolerated, no matter which caste they belong to. He said that strict action will also be taken against those who attack the police, but the way violence took place in Nagpur, it was pre-planned and stones were carried in trolleys and weapons were also collected. The police have also recovered weapons.
Chief Minister Fadnavis has warned in the House that the miscreants who disturbed the peace of Nagpur will not be forgiven. He said that the situation in Nagpur is now peaceful and an alert has been issued in the limits of all police stations, as well as curfew is also in force. He said that on March 17 at 11:30 am, Vishwa Hindu Parishad Bajrang Dal activists protested in Nagpur demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb. Not only this, the protesters also set fire to a symbolic grave. It was told that during the burning, Kalma Tayyaba chaadar was also burnt, after which the situation deteriorated at 7:30 pm and sloganeering started outside the mosque and the police was also attacked.
He said that the police have registered 5 FIRs in this case, while a case was registered in the Ganesh Peth police station in the morning against the protest held by Vishwa Hindu Parishad under the Police Act including 114 and 299, despite which violence was spread. He said that a DCP was attacked with an axe. Fadnavis alleged that this violence is the result of an organized conspiracy, so action will be taken against such miscreants and they will not be spared. He said that no one is allowed to take the law into their own hands. Attacking the police is unacceptable. It is accepted that the police maintain law and order and in such a situation their security is a responsibility.
He said that there are festivals of all religions and all religions should maintain brotherhood. Although the police have brought out the facts and there is anger among the followers of Aurangzeb, but law and order will not be allowed to deteriorate in Maharashtra and if anyone tries to incite violence, action will be taken against him without any discrimination of religion or caste and he will not be spared.
