Indian red faces over tallest flag at Pakistan border

Dont see a problem at all.

Replace the flag every Monday, the damaged flag can be pruned to be used elsewhere.

Sir there is something very powerful about driving on a winding ghat road, and taking a turn around the mountain into bright sunlight and seeing a huge tiranga fluttering high up on a massive flagpost.

Much to the amusement of my co passengers my hand involuntarily snaps to my forehead.

Dhwaj has special significance. In peace and war. Jab take dhwaj lehrate hue dikhta hai tab tak jung jaari hai.

P.S As for tall flags getting frayed at the edges, it has nothing to do with quality. And is very common. Seen it in the US as well. Sometimes they keep it up to give the war torn antique look. Like from the civil war enactments.

No problem.
MHA has already ordered the BSF to put up a new flag every two weeks.
So it will continue to remain visible to people in town of Lahore.

And we will keep spitting while looking at the direction.

Indian red faces over tallest flag at Pakistan border

India's tallest flag, which towers over the border with arch-rival Pakistan, is causing red faces - because it cannot stand up to the weather.

The tricolour was hoisted last month but keeps getting torn by the wind and is being replaced for a fourth time.

It was launched with media fanfare but now officials say national pride is being dented and money wasted.

Pakistanis are likely to be amused - the aim was for the flag to be seen from deep inside their territory.

Indian press reports at the time said the 106m (350ft)-tall flag at the Wagah crossing would be visible from Lahore, 20km (12.5 miles) away.

Instead, officials have had to spend more money on replacements because by law a damaged flag cannot be flown.

Suresh Mahajan, the chairman of the Amritsar Improvement Trust, which is responsible for maintaining the flag, said that the situation amounted to a "crime".

"The national flag is our pride and I request the government to call an inquiry over the issue and those responsible should be punished," he told BBC Hindi.

Gurpreet Singh Soni, who runs a shop at the border, said the absence of the flag was "disappointing" visitors.

Apparently, Indian planners didn't take into account the strong winds the Wagah flag would face.

The chief of the Flag Foundation of India, KV Singh, said he had advised against such a tall flag.

"We had suggested to hoist a smaller flag to avoid frequent damage but the aim is to ensure that the Indian flag is visible from Lahore in Pakistan."

The Wagah flag is not the only Indian one to face problems.

An 88m flag in the southern city of Hyderabad installed near the 455-year-old Hussainsagar lake also keeps tearing because of strong winds.

And KV Singh said a 63m flag in the capital, Delhi, tore 11 times in May and June last year.

"This despite the Delhi flag being a smaller flag than the one in Hyderabad. So damage is normal when the flag is high," says Mr Singh.

This is the power of Pakistani wind. Make a breaking news Pakistani wind cause tricolor flag damage and we need our scientist to give us solution and currently DRDO have to answer of this Pakistani intrude wind.

And people of Lahore would pee facing towards it.

For all Pakistani member's here who are going crazy to criticize the "quality of Indian flag", same was the case with "at the time" Asia's tallest flag Hoisted in Peshawar, Pakistan. and same thing happened.

I dont know what happened in Peshawar neither I am interested in gimmickry, however, when one comes up with these type of childish acts just to rub in the face of the adversaries, and it fails, then yea, it needs to be mocked.

Understand the difference.
