New
Delhi,
Aug
15:
Union
Ministry
of
Tourism
on
Monday
displayed
a
7500
square
feet
Tricolour
at
the
bank
of
Dal
Lake,
Srinagar.
This
was
part
of
celebrating
the
75th
anniversary
of
Independence
and
Azadi
Ka
Amrit
Mahotsav.

The
Flag
itself
was
weighing
80-85
kg
with
supporting
elements.
It
is
pertinent
to
mention
that
Team
HMI
had
displayed
the
same
Flag
first
time
in
Sikkim
Himalayas
in
April
2021
and
subsequently,
at
Victoria
Memorial,
Kolkata
on
15th
Aug
21
and
at
Statue
of
Unity,
Gujarat
on
31
Oct
2021.

Thereafter,
the
Flag
was
displayed
at
Antarctica,
setting
the
World
Record
of
Largest
National
Flag
of
any
country
displayed
for
the
first
time
in
Antarctica.
Now,
in
line
with
Govt.
of
India’s
Har
Ghar
Tiranga
campaign
and
also
Azadi
Ka
Amrit
Mohotsav,
the
Flag
is
being
displayed
in
Srinagar.

The
Flag,
before
arrival
in
Srinagar,
was
displayed
in
Darjeeling
on
08
Aug
2022
on
the
occasion
of
80
Years
of
QUIT
INDIA
MOVEMENT.
Since,
the
Flag
is
so
huge
in
size,
it
was
made
in
three
panels.
Special
attention
was
given
to
its
stability
factor
and
safety
anchors
were
appropriately
fitted,
so
that
the
Flag
can
withstand
the
weather
extremities
from
high
velocity
mountain
winds
to
subzero
temperature
of
Antarctica
and
also
other
extreme
weather
elements.
