Few hours after being hoisted, the tricolour that was hoisted on the famous Ghanta Ghat at Lal chowk, Srinagar has disappeared from there.
In view of January 26, the tricolour was unfurled on the Ghanta Ghar (Clock Tower) in Lal Chowk area. Several people held the flag hoisting event.
Few hours after, photos and videos posted on social media have shown that the flag that was hoisted at Lal chowk has gone missing.
The former chief minister of Jammu Kashmir, Omar Abdullah tweeted, “Tricolour disappears in less than a couple of hours. It didn’t even remain there for the day. Why insult the National Flag Flag of India just for a photo op? Is this what patriotism & nationalism has come to? Photo ops & trolling?”
He added, “If you don’t know your Indian Flag Code then here is a bit of help – “As far as possible display from sunrise to sunset” which means that it can be flown 24×7, 365 days a year as long as other provisions of the flag code are followed”.
