The Centre has made changes in the Flag Code of India 2002 allowing the tricolour to be flown by the public both day and night.
This is in line with the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign launched by the government from August 13 to 15 as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ to commemorate 75 years of a progressive independent India.
Under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah have appealed to every citizens to hoist the tricolour at their homes from August 13 to 15.
It must be noted that the display, hoisting and use of the Indian national flag is governed by the Flag Code of India, 2002 and the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.
Similarly, in December 2021, the government had amended the provision for material used to make the Indian flag. Now machine made and polyester material can also be used for making flag. Earlier machine made and polyester flags were not allowed to be used.
