Srinagar, Jan 19: In anticipation of Republic Day, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a circular instructing all states and Union territories to take measures preventing the improper disposal of paper flags during significant national, cultural, and sports events.
The circular, released on Thursday, emphasises the paramount importance of preserving the dignity of paper flags used by the public during these occasions. It underscores that the Indian National Flag represents the collective hopes and aspirations of the nation’s people and deserves the utmost respect.
Addressing a noticeable lack of awareness among individuals and organisations regarding laws, practices, and conventions related to the display of the National Flag, the MHA stated, “There is universal affection and respect for, and loyalty to, the National flag. Yet, a perceptible lack of awareness is often noticed amongst people as well as organizations/agencies of the government, in regard to laws, practices and conventions that apply to the display of the National Flag.”
The circular reiterates that paper flags should not be discarded or thrown on the ground after the event. Instead, individuals are urged to dispose of them privately, ensuring the continued dignity of the flag.
“As per clause (x) of Paragraph 2.2 of Part-II of the Flag Code of India, the National Flag made of paper may be waved by the public on occasions of important national, cultural and sports events,” it stated.
“You are requested to ensure that on the occasions of important national, cultural and sports events. Flags used by the public, made of paper are not discarded or thrown on the ground after the event. Such Flags are to be disposed of, in private, consistent with the dignity of the Flag,” it further stated.
The MHA has further urged states and Union territories to conduct mass awareness programs to educate the public on the proper handling of the National Flag made of paper.
“You are also requested to undertake a mass awareness program in this regard and also to give it wide publicity through advertisements in the electronic and print media,” the circular mentioned.
