Hyderabad: Ahead of Independence Day, a serious effort is on to educate people about the Flag Code, and the difference between hoisting and unfurling the Tricolour.
According to senior advocate L. Ravichander, ‘The process of unfurling involves unveiling a folded or rolled-up flag attached to the rope, while hoisting is the act of raising a flag up a pole. In India, the National Flag is hoisted on Independence Day, while it is unfurled on Republic Day.”
The postal department has taken up the task of educating the general public on the Flag Code. The department has released a list of dos and don’ts, while its staff will be organising outreach campaigns.
