Following the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march in Delhi, the Delhi Police has issued guidelines on the proper handling and display of the national flag. These instructions reiterate the provisions of the Flag Code of India.
The guidelines emphasize that the national flag must be accorded due respect and displayed in a position of honor. It cannot be flown upside down, with the saffron band at the bottom, or at half-mast unless specifically permitted under government instructions.
The police also stated that the national flag must not be used as clothing or as part of a uniform. Furthermore, it should not be printed on items such as cushions, handkerchiefs, and napkins.
These guidelines underscore the necessity of maintaining proper respect for the national flag. It is crucial for citizens across the country to adhere to these rules when displaying the national flag.
For readers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, these guidelines indirectly serve as a reminder to uphold national pride and respect by following the proper protocols when displaying the national flag.
