Overview

• The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign has led to record-length flag displays and mass hoistings across the country ahead of the 79th Independence Day.
• Delhi's Red Fort ceremony will feature enhanced security by the Central Industrial Security Force, e-ticketing for attendees and Operation Sindoor floral motifs.
• Officials have reiterated that the Flag Code permits day-and-night display of the Tiranga outdoors with proper illumination, following amendments that now allow machine-made polyester flags alongside hand-woven khadi.
• Authorities are reminding citizens that public disrespect of the Tiranga is punishable under the 1971 Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act with up to three years’ imprisonment or fines.
• Clear instructions on respectful disposal of damaged or soiled flags, via controlled burning or burial, have been emphasized to prevent inadvertent violations during mass hoisting events.
