India to Hoist Tallest Tricolour, Higher than Pakistan Flag, at Wagah-Attari Border
News 18The country’s tallest flag at 418 feet is set to be installed on the Wagah-Attari border in Punjab by the National Highways Authority of India, a move that may reignite a flag war with Pakistan. The NHAI has hired a contractor after getting the approval from the central and the state governments, an NHAI official said, as per a report by the Hindustan Times, and while the location of the flag is yet to be decided, the official said that so far there were no plans to remove the current flag. The location of installing the flag is not yet decided, but as per the suggestion of Border Security Force officials, it is most likely to be nearer the spectators’ gallery of the joint check post. The present Indian flag is not properly visible to the people coming for witnessing the Beating Retreat ceremony due to the height of the gallery’s building,” the NHAI official told Hindustan Times.
